Does anyone have any suggestions as to make a 1992 740 turbo have a little bit more go to it? I've fallen in love with the vehicle and I'd like to make it a little sportier. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Andrew

Hi andrewsikes,

Being an old duffer I don't know a lot about performance mods, but I will transfer your post to the performance section.

I hope it helps.

There are many out there, especially in the US...

Run a general search in Google to find out.

You could just open the wastegate a little to push out more boost.
