    Those intake tubes look way taller in the other pic. That will prolly fit easier since the AFM isnt up there
    The engine was straight up and down in the other pic, thats probably why.

    This thing took me the better part of a day to get in but I like the way it fits.

      Some updates. Engines ready to fire up, just gotta figure out the megasquirt.

      745i intake and charge pipes


      2.5" universal charge pipes from the turbo

        No SMIC? Seems like you have room for one.

          Anyway to angle your oil drain pipe up a little so it doesn't sit in that elbow/braided hose? Is it even a problem?

          It's looking great!

            Eventually I'll get a fmic but for now i'll enjoy some non intercooled boost :)

            Doesn't seem like a problem, I dunno how I would angle it up though...

                Huh? Did you stop it or did it stop itself? What happened?

                    It stopped it self. Still trying to make it idle with the magical megasquirt, and it's being extremely difficult.

                      Just keep dicking around with your ASE and your VE table.....

                      Will you be able to get that bolt for the oil pan out with that flange in the way?

                          I'm running fuel and spark but I'm still have problems getting the "right" version of megatune to talk to my megasquirt.

                          I can loosen the bolts so that the oil pan drops, but they stay there.


                          Here's a video of it kinda running. Sounds like a Harley because there's only 4 inches of exhaust.

                                Hopefully this video is alittle more exciting.

                                I've been running whatever my w/g lets me right now, which is about 7 psi. The difference is incredible over n/a. Still logging and tuning.

                                Big thanks to lowrevvin and lifeiskaos for all their help.
