Where are you located? I need N54 friends D:
Literally the only person I know that even builds a BMW xD. These Subaru guys around me make me laugh. Their like.. "Yeah, it's stage 2" when it has a muffler delete, Cobb tune, and an intake. XD

Ahh, got ya. That's cool. Hopefully it fits well either way. I'm itching for everyone to get the testing done so I can order one and get my damn car tuned. Then get proper logs of this AD-E intercooler.
Yes it fits and doesn't leak boost nor leak fuel. I will have a detailed write up tomorrow
Bump
Sorry guys, I got the god @#$& stomach flu this weekend and have been ejecting food every 4 hours so I'm down sick.
But to give you all a quick update from the couch:
-It fit very very good
-Brake booster line needs to be moved around a bit
-no leaks either fuel or boost
-injectors are super tight but once they are in your good to go!
Engine cover won't fit with the new rail but I'm working on a trimming that should fit without issue.
So far I've done several 20psi pulls without any drama aside from fuel scalar needing to be dialed in a bit more. I had too much fuel being infected causing misfires post shit. I think it's fixed now though. - still need to go WOT

More pics and one thing of caution about this manifold: The screws that came with this for the underside harness do not fit and you can't use the old ones either.
So that's one small thing that I had to find 5 screws for Btw. It was the only thing that slowed me down.
But can I just say, with Port Injection spraying its crazy fast. You can feel when it kicks on and it's really quite fun.

price price price! dates dates dates! Wheres that Sharp guy
i can't tell from those pictures but it appears to use aftermarket gaskets. I wont mention names but i use a port injection plate that uses aftermarket gaskets and I've melted 3 sets including viton's high temp seals.
if they made the front facing one where it had gaskets that use the oem seals and the throttle body fit properly id be all over this.

So where can I go to order this thing? Really wanting to pick one up now that it's starting to shape up! I was reading Tony's results about the CP being close to the strut tower? Pretty sure he's using the AD-E intercooler like me. Just wondering if you had the same issue.
Except his ade cooler is an oversized 1000hp version. There will be a group buy posted here when the fitment is all verified.
Bout to fuck this tax return up
Tony said that he is still having a few fitment issues with it and will be contacting the manufacture. He also said that if those little issues get fixed this will be the best bang for your buck. With that said, I'm down for a group buy, but I don't want fitment issues!
With my VTT inlets and a Ets chargepipe(biggest CP available) it fit but needed some muscle. It's a tight space to work in.
Mines installed without leaks or anything
If you want one without fitment issues buy the one I'll be organizing the group buy for. Believe it or not, there are slight differences between the revisions that will make for a better install.
Keep an eye out for Monday to see the group buy. Pricing has been officially landed at 540.00 shipped. - same 499.99 price as before but with shipping charges now included.
I love this manifold though, seriously no regrets at all. PI is amazingly fun when it kicks on. 2500+rpm it starts to spray.

No website, just a group buy on the manifold with the proper vendor @Sharp
All issues will roll through Sharp Customs and i will assist in areas that are more fitment/technical.
If there is an issue with the manifold Sharp Customs will take care of it. I had 3 corrections to the manifold in 30 days all arriving in about 5 biz days upon revision. So they are FAST to get them sent out.
