lots of stuff to do:
put in the motor, new clutch, all turbo goodies, mount fmic, all gauges and ms wired, tuning.

someone with a large garage would be perfect!

would be alot of fun, done it before with honda motors.

wont be ready to do it til spring or winter

i am always down for lending a hand

well i can get my buddy from landrover to do the tricky shit, it will be alot cheeper than any shop. plus hes got tools comeing out of his ass about $30,000 worth. im sure he will do the engine managment and the head gasket if u want. and the new range rovers come with the BMW motor in them so he knows his shit.

wicked, im a fresh out of school mechanic so it'll be nice to learn lots from a guy who knows what hes doing.

yeah id like to put a new head gasket in due to the motor taking on boost.

im not sure what to do about the MS though, haven't ventured those waters yet.

would be greatly appreciated mitch500.

i'll be going to see the motor sometime soon, just waiting for the call.

ill keep you all posted

im sure ive forgotten some stuff.

i bought this turbo off a guy on e30tech that was running it on a stock m20b25, he made 324whp @ 14psi, its exactly what im looking for.

let me know what you guys think

im also looking for some options for my front valence, i dont want to hack up a nice m-tech 1, so im looking for something that will work with my euro bumpers but wont cost me a grand.

[mitch500]

just buy this turbo set-up.
