im looking to get this turbo in the near future, do we have the run the charge pipe it comes with? I currently have the BMS charge pipe that comes with the BOV and would like to keep that on

You can reuse the top portion of the bms, only the turbo side is different I test fitted with the afe charge pipe I had but made more sense to resell and get some money back

I have the omega kit and wanted to change the charge pipes myself. Want one that utilizes an HD clamp but I don’t think anyone makes one that fits. So may just have to go to a local fabricator to get one.

I imagine that wouldn’t be to difficult or expensive to do you can modify the pipes that come with the kit, only hard part is it will be specific to your setup depending on what manifold your running

I have been running one since Q1 of 2024. Laid down great power and got custom flex tuned for 93 - E30 on BM3 via Sameh. As far as issues, i've only had 1....the feed line provided in the kit is garbage and essentially melted through having me to clean up a ton of oil in my garage, having the car get towed to my shop (luckily, i'm about 5 miles from them), and to install a stainless steel braided line. So, if he's still providing black mesh/nylon lines, i would throw those into the garbage and make sure you use stainless lines. Other than that, it's been great. Time will tell on longevity. This is my car that CES did an overview on last year if you're interested ->

I will keep an eye on it, I routed mine a little different than what is recommended in the instructions because i didn’t like it going over the waste gate, I also did cover mine in a heat sleeve

I'm assuming CES routed it per the instructions provided by Remnant and believe they did heat wrap on mine as well, just make sure to keep an eye on it, mine was melted straight through, assuming it touched the manifold at some point but cannot be sure because i didn't inspect it close enough.

I've recently installed my Remnant Omega 65 and have driven about 2500km on the kit so far. The newer versions of the kit come with the stainless lines. However, I did end up putting a heat sleeve on it and also routed the line under the wastegate as you can see in the below picture.

The only other issue I have with the kit is a pinched CCV line and also the oil return line keeps getting loose. To fix this issue will require to remove pull the turbo off and put the drain back on....a bit of a headache tbh, but my installer is monitoring it closely before we decide how to address this issue.

Other then that, my car is running super strong at ~25psi and e40 + meth getting me to 100-200km/h in 5.69s. Currently doing DI upgrades with the Dorch DS25, S58 injectors and Precision Race Works stage 2 LPFP. Excited to turn up the boost a bit more.

Is your car RHD? I’ve put about 1500 miles on mine so far so about 2400km i havent had any leaks whatsoever, when I set up the drain line I find that if you loosen the chra vband on the turbo it lets you move the line in and out without pulling the turbo, as it lets you rotate the turbo quite a bit with the manifold installed. Might want to share that with the installer. Also make sure he’s not over tightening the an fittings there only ment to be tightened a half turn past hand tight, over tightening can also cause leaks although that seems counter intuitive

My car is LHD. Also thank you for the recommendation, I will share this info with my installer to see how we can rectify the issue.
