Who here has experience with the m106 turbo system? Specifically, routing of vacuum, breather, and oil lines? I have a box full of parts and I highly suspect I'm missing quite a few of the plumbing pieces, but it's hard to know by looking at engine bay photos on the internetz.

I have one in my e34. Also HitManX in the e23 section on bimmerforums has a wealth of info on anything e23. Get a hold of him and tell him I sent you, he's a good guy.

Take a look at my album here: http://s110.photobucket.com/user/joe...?sort=3&page=1
Hopefully that will give you a few ideas. The vacuum isn't very complex, although I ended up not using many of the factory pieces. I really only used the k27 turbo, m102 manifold, and m102 wastegate. I do like the design of the factory recirculating setup but I preferred the sound of a BOV.'86 E30

I don't mind at all.
I used MS1. Didn't bother trying to mess with the e23 ECU. Plus you can ditch the AFM and have full tuning capabilities and take advantage of a wideband o2.
I added a T off of the stock oil pressure switch location. So it feed my Oil pressure gauge and turbo. You can see it in my album.
The long braided hose went to my Air intake elbow, as that's the only place that will have vacuum whether or not you are boosting.'86 E30

Also did you start with an m102 or m106 engine, or did you use the b35?

OK. My m106 setup came with a hardline that I think does to the oil filter... I still need to fit it to check.
Any problems with that oil/air mixture going through the compressor? Did you add a catch can or anything?
