GREAT BUILD MAN!! glws

[BMWManiac]

Yeah, coming from a boosted e36, im not a fan of mls...

I used an elrin gasket i believe, not the goetze

There's quite a bit of negative thoughts out there towards the mls. Not many people ever have problems when they oring, it seems to be a better option.

This is my observation as well.... I understand that with the MLS that the RA finish of both the head and block surfaces have to be within a tight tolerance in order for the HG to seat properly. Otherwise they leak...

When o-ring do most use stock HG (goetze) or copper?

Out of curiosity,

Why did you go o-ring block instead of MLS HG?

Benifits? About to prep my engine for Turbo...

EDIT: Sick build by the way!

Nice work, be safe and hurry back home.

[BMWManiac]

And there you have it....I just deployed, so the car is left with a street tune....was able to enjoy 5-7 lbs of boost, which on a GT35r variant is not all that great, but fun nonetheless.....took a little less than 2 months to finish...of course, there is some dyno time required, replacing the wastegate, etc...and I got to enjoy 100 miles!

Pics of the oil catch can; We mounted the power steering reservoir to connect to the carbon canister, and the oil catch can mounts next to the reservoir and bolts to the stock engine ground nut

The oil filter relocation kit is perfect for oil changes!

In for details on the remote oil filter mount!

[BMWManiac]

Yeah, I don't know how much tuning will get in the next day or so, but I will take a couple of pics of some random stuff like the remote oil filter mount and catch can setup for grins....I need to change the oil today and then try and apply the ///M tricolor flag I have
