The 190E 2.3 16v is such a badass car. Cosworth powered back in the DTM days when BMW had the marbles to compete in it haha. I really think it would be great if they came back to fight the A4 and the C, probably would force Mercedes to start lightening up the C's too haha.

Such a great offer but I can't figure anything out since I am not a forced induction specialist...

Not sure what you mean, but let me take a stab (being an old Audi guy):

Twin K04s using plumbing from the Audi 2.7T (RS4), twin air-to-air intercoolers. (?) If so, God help you!

sequential turbos

I guess a sequential turbo setup, One in front of the other, one which is smaller with less lag that spools up quicker and provide power in the lower RPM range, and the secondary larger turbo that spools up to provide bigger boost and more power at the higher RPM range. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS LOTS OF LOW LOTS OF HI with no lag. Kinda like an RX7

DO I WIN???

Here is my guess:

SC & stock IC stays in place.

Single GT28 or GT35 (or maybe the disco potato as I said earlier).

SC Clutch Update:

We are keeping quiet as of now, but Erick and I figured out the SC Clutch issue. We confirmed our findings on 3 different C32's...one of which was stock.

I will let Erick share his progress and plans for this week.
