3 grand? I would probably go for the Relentless Twins, then with the rest I would take the ol' lady out for dinner.

Either a tank of gas, or a Goerends' TC and valve body, POD's, HTT WH1C turbo, water injection kit, exhaust and intake.

A Georand VB and TQ will run you about 1650, give or take a little bit. Then, put it in, save the rest of the money for diesel fuel, or buy a new turbo....

I'd pay the loan off Then what's left would go to a used HX35, and stage IV HTT kit, water meth, then fuel.

That is just so so wrong....

My truck is good as is so I would use 3k to purchase a 330i instead of the 325i I have on order.

A paint job, a bio-diesel brewery and as much veg-oil as the rest would buy.
