UPDATE: I have a strong lead for the car including the turbo, so this may be gone soon.
UPDATE2: I found an oil leak above the lower oil pan today and can not in good conscience sell the car in this condition because it's possible I have a cracked block or something based on what I'm seeing.. so the turbo bits are still available while I assess doing an engine rebuild. The local buyer is still strongly interested - we agreed to get back in touch after the engine work's completed. I need to decide whether to take this kit off the market or continue with the plan to put the engine back to stock

I have a troubleshooting thread for my 91 318is turbo setup over on e30tech. Since I have 3 other E30s I don't have the patience to keep working on this project, so I've decided to take the car back to stock condition and probably sell it.
I am selling the whole turbo package including the BEGI, intercooler, piping, BOV, M42 AFM with additional pigtail, turbo and mani, custom made down pipe and exhaust including cat and muffler for $900. I will make arrangements with the buyer on the shipping, which is probably about $100 in the continental US. If you have done any research at all you know this is a VERY good deal.
A bit of history: I bought this car last summer as a project car without an exhaust system. There was already a BEGI RRFPR, intercooler, BOV, Greddy TD04H-15G turbo and cut down turbo mani on the car when I bought it. Here's the new stuff I've added or bought since then, all with less than 200 miles on it or never used:
- M42 oil pan with turbo oil return tap in proper location
- brand new intercooler pipe kit with high quality clamps (never used)
- custom 2.5" 3 piece exhaust setup including hand welded down pipe with brand new magnaflow cat and muffler. the guy that did the work does show and collector cars and is highly sought after. Alot of pro labor went into this exhaust, which uses all factory hardware and mount points. it fits perfectly.
- brand new CHRA assembly for the Greddy TD04H-15G
- Kinugawa wastegate actuator with several springs from 0.5 to 1.5 bar (never used)
- 3 gauge ashtray area cluster pod (parker performance vinyl covered 3 hole bracket, VDO 15 psi boost, VDO oil pressure, Innovate G5 AFR
