Man, don't go saying that kind of stuff in public, lest you jinx your car!
N54 RB Ones Arrived

There's one by me. Not sure if it really would be. It's a fat cow of a car that needs suspension upgrades next.
Got the other turbo on...... rear inlet attached. But.....I think Rob sent me the wrong outlets. They are not gonna fit. Mid sections are too long and they overlap.
Edit.... outlets are correct. I had the motor up too high for proper alignment.

Not wrong. Installer error..... oops. I had the motor winched up to high to get alignment correct.
Yeah. It would usually suck if that happens. This build isn't under any time constraints though. If this was one of the dailies that would be a different story.
Well I'm done for the day. Kids are hungry, so am I. More time to fiddle pieces together tomorrow..... or whenever the mini fixers let me. Lol
Front outlet is secured, rear isn't yet. But they do line up now.

They are nice. Probably not necessary in my case. But.....I got them anyway.
They go on great from underneath. I honestly cannot fathom doing these from the top.
I remember doing the silicone outlet from up top. Had to disconnect the ac line and squish them down in there. Using tiny tools to get the v bands back in...... was a real treat.
Its easy when there's no subframe. You can drop the motor some and create a gap so big you don't have to struggle at all.
Unlike the first one I did.
If you get a E89 Z4 TONS of room to do anything ............
. Still not as bad as the E89
For a car that's wider than the e90 you would think the engine bay would have loads of room to work. Nooooo, just the opposite!
Yeah, that pic makes my e84 X1 engine bay look like the grand canyon...

Wow, I didn't know those X1 cars had twin turbos as well. All smooshed in there like the 135i
