Moving up a bit soon: ordered myself a twin scroll manifold from elbe.ee (user Hents99) that should be coming soon. Will be using that with the BW S200G I have sitting around. I'll try it out with my 90cc pump but may upgrade to around 110 in the future, shooting for around 300 hp or so. I thought about trying an S251SX but what I have should be fine. They run about $560 new!
The BW I have seems to be kind of a pre-cursor to the S200SX line. 7 blade compressor wheel (not billet or forged) and a 10 blade turbine that is the same (Generation 3 as some call it) design as the SX and EFR lines, just not the Gamma-Ti material.
My HX30 starts to spool up around 1800 right now but hits a big wall above 3000 rpm. It may be fuel or exhaust related, who knows. I expect the S200 will spool much later, but honestly even with my IC hose blown off and the turbo providing 0 boost I still have very good power up to 2100 rpm.
Had some seals done on my trans and was told that all my clutches looked totally fine. Granted, I am not running huge torque numbers, but I should be in the 300-320 ft lb area. Depending on the cost, I may try to have him add more clutches but we'll see, it depends on if I up the fuel or not. But, if I were to get the trans beefed up, why not go for 120 or 130cc right?
I was about to go for a TD05-16 setup but decided in the end that it would kind of limit me to maybe 250hp. That said, I will be selling it on here soon, along with a w140 manifold, my HX30, a few T3s,...I think that is all.
Before my pump and IC setup, my best MPG to date was 29.5. I beat that over the summer with 31, so overall can't complain...more power and better economy!
Lastly, anyone with a w126 that has a sagging rear, the Lesjofors HD springs raised mine up a good 1.5 inch or so and made the car feel like its on rails again.
Some updates
