Props on the awesome build. People should realize that you know what you are doing. 100,000 volts I don't even know what that means I mean I have heard a mechanic say something about volts but I don't know. You obviously do know and all the haters should recognize that. I have been looking at all the 5 series cars around the internet and this is probably the best one IMHO. Theres a green turbo one "5mall5nail5" but the owner obviously doesn't know what he is doing the car looks good but the owner clearly doesn't get it. Your car on the other hand shows that you know whats up. Very technical, that intake is sexy i hope you fix the issues you had with it I bet it could probably make another 15 - 85 hp depending how you time it.

What do you think? Please update this we need to see more of what this beast can do!

PS - loving the wire tuck. So clean! Compared to most 5 series with wires all over the place I almost can't even see yours. You have to look really hard for a few minutes to even recognize a wire - thats how it should be! Well done!

just finished her up yesterday, i'm hitting 20 psi at only 4500 rpms. whats more is that the car is so incredibly fast compared to what she was it's crazy. the turbo lag is really crazy, i get nothing until 3000 and then its like holy f*ck balls the roads were cold yesterday but fairly clear but i was spinning through third.

much more tuning to do

Wow just checking back for this and just, wow. Wow - no words.

Ok gathered myself. AMAZING JOB. Do you have any sort of certification in this? I mean it looks like something a design shop would make for a factory car. I have never seen a turbo this big except on heavy machinery or marine engines - how big is that turbo? They call them T2 T3 T4 or something? That must be bigger! T5! I don't even know lol.

I can see the blue air manifold thing is changed - did you decides to do something else? I bet the other one you had would make the car even faster. How do you run all of this equpiment? I know its not like old carbs I used to tune on my datsuns, so it must be electronic? Did you program the electronics? Technology doesn't stop you it seems!! - congrats, this is seriously impressive an old timer like myself have never even seen something like this done to a BMW. Can you explain more about how the computer was altered and how the exhaust works and how the fuel injects (into the turbo? or into the ... showing my age!!!!

Kudos congrats I need to see more of this project!
