ha, I swear.. I talk to you on the phone and you "talk" about doing a turbo on the daily, then I come on here to see it's already taking place..


nutty.

 

jeff im in houston...i will be contacting you in the near future for some of that knowledge of yours sir

 

Inspired M3, feel free to ask if you need help.

Also the stupid rain yesterday. Couldn't work on the car lol. Hopefully I'll have the car finished today.

 

Love that SportDesign you have. It's only getting better.

 

where does the na-t come from? isn't it now just a "t" car ? i do like it. very clean.

 

It was an "NA" engine and you add "T" to it. It would just be "T" if the engine was turbo from factory. Make sense?

 

Good luck with your build, interested to see if you can pass your emissions with the turbo setup installed. No need to back door the system if you can do it legit...

 

Hey, Jeff. What is your email address?

 

Jeff, I am seriously thinking about leaving my car at your house giving you a good amount of cash, then coming to pick it up 48 hours later to see what you have done to it! Sound like a deal?

 

^^ That's a good plan...

 

Sorry to sidetrack this thread, but TLcoats, could you email me?

It's over on the left. Back on topic.

 

Ok, just finished all the intercooler piping today. Freaking took me 8-9hrs. This included all the extra custom fabrication needed to fit everything properly. However, I'm going to redo all of the cold side piping in a few days because I don't like how it looks. A bit too messy for my taste

Anyways, on with the pictures:

Very slight see...I made it shorter

Welded new elbow on turbo. Finished the turbo side piping and bolted it on.

Completed piping.


Close up of the cold side of the piping. Looks terrible
I ran out of a few 45'degree bends so I just had to made do with what I had on hand.
