Haha we're fine. My birthday is tomorrow - hoping for some MS stuff so I can get this beast on the road!!! Things have been SLOW....we're having a house built and I want to wait until I have a real garage to continue the hard work.

Thanks! If I dont get MS today I'm buying it anyways. MSI or II? V 2.2 or 3.0?

I'm thinking MSI with MSnSe and mapdaddy.

Nice score man, we seem to be doing everything at about the same time w/ our cars.

On the fuel rail, the one I picked up looks like it had 2 inlets and one spot for a regulator. Do you knwo what to do about that? Does one inlet get blocked off, or is there a reason i'm not figuring out here...

What are you doing for Throttle Body? If you go 325is, with the same TPS I'm using, I'll send you a PDF of the adapter plate I made for mine. I got that project done this past weekend.

Show us some pics man!

This is my 2nd set of 318i stuff. For 20 Bucks I couldnt pass it up. I've never seen one with 2 inlets I dont think. For the TB I actually think I'll be using the 318i one for the time being. If it is too restrictive I'll go to the 325is one. I now have 2 of each. For the TPS I found a unit (new) from an 88 525i auto that is variable and bolts right onto either TB. Now the only problem is finding a pitail for it.

As for doing everything at the same time - I wish. Your car looks nice - mine looks like a calico piece of crap. When the house is done my budget will hopefully loosen - plus I'll be getting a 60 or 80 gallon compressor and a paint gun!

My house now has a roof on it - but we got 5 (!!!) inches of rain yesterday from that tropical storm. Progress on the 02 is nearly a standstill - however i did get a pigtail for my variable TPS!!

Purchased recently:

t3 / t4 turbo adaptor
325i tb adaptor
dizzy plug
innovate lc1 wideband 02 sensor
Intercooler

I'm pushing to have it running in 2 months on the old block. May or may not have the turbo by then. I need intercooler piping and a blow off valve.

Yay I got a hood tor it. She's all packed up ready to move. I didn't realize how many parts I had until I got them all in one place. WOW! The first thing im going to do when I get in the new house is build a dolly for it out of wood and drop the subframes.

Don't forget to make a diagram of your workshop to remember where all the parts are!



Also, where are the pics man?!
