    This is what Alpina used to paint on Alpina intake. It is a black and gray color. Now jet black.

    I like that strut bar a lot. Keep that alpina cable part number I'll be need ing that some time.
    I will text you the part number.

    I started to paint the Alpina B6 intake black and Alpina logo in silver. I had to buy some vacuum fittings for 5 vacuum lines.

    It would be great to be there to hear it run.

    I been working on my Alpina B6 intake. Alpina did some ported and polish on intake. I tried to take a few mm off the intake to match up with the b35 head. I have to thank Tom from Texas for giving me part number Alpina throttle cable.

    The early AC Schnitzer strut bar will fit over the m30. The later AC Schnitzer square tube will NOT FIT over the m30.

    Today I was doing the turbo oil return line. I decided to not use a rubber hose. I going to order a steel breaded line for the oil return line. I also was doing vacuum line to the waste gate, blow off and for the Alpina vent gauge.

    Thanks for the advise. It only going to be like that for a little while.

    This is a temporarily on strut bar fix. I had to space it up to clear the piping. When I switch out m30 intake to Alpina intake. Then IE strut bar can go back to correct position.
