Looks good.

[shiftbmw]

I'm loving the wheel color man.

[Stevo-iX]

looks very good, that stance is perfect imo. pink makes it even better
and hot damn your exhaust is low.

[fiftytakedowns]

any oil cooler?

[Dj Buttchug]

thanks for the props guys. No oil cooler yet. I may install one if I start having temp issues.

Nice work.

[Mike The Bavarian]

not gonna lie, this car is fucking awesome! turbo m42<3

[MrSlacker]

Turbo M42 makes me wet every time I see them... one day I'll pull the trigger on one

I would move your o2 sensor downstream a bit, at least if you want it to last very long.

you'll also probably want a lot more rubber if you want to actually put some power down. :p

[noE30]

Love it! Got any videos

Car looks nice. That exhaust clearance looks scary though.

I dont know what happened. my upper and lower pan gaskets failed. as well as my rear timing case gasket. I was more pissed than I was anything. Maybe it was assembly error on my part. the world may never kno. I now can remove my engine in less than an hour thanks for VR gaskets

I don't like VR gaskets either. I especially won't use their m50 oilpan gasket as the bolt holes don't line up correctly.

I agree with both of these statements.

My turbo M42 was a handful even with real sticky 215s. I'd move your o2 sensor back closer to the stock location. Its way too far upstream as is.

Also, paint your intercooler and piping black, it'll save you a lot of hassle with the po-po.

Also, what are you doing for tuning? Don't waste your time with a blow through AFM, just spend the money on MegSquirt or some other stand alone and save time and headaches.

[Dj Buttchug]

maybe this is why I am getting an o2 sensor code. It is only temporary until tuesday when i can weld in my new bungs down lower.

Im pretty much shafted for tires then...anything bigger than a 205 and I rub. will see what happens when i get five luggers attached. may have to change a few things up in this area

[Danny]

Also, put an air filter on before you bend your compressor fins.

[ethrtyiS]

that thing is very clean. i want me a tarbo so bad.
