Made 400hp. (the e39 model) Could of been a bit more seeing as it has headers etc done to it but happy it has the stock power after 127k on it still. Seeing as most make around 380hp.

No I had the M5 out, had to wait for all the FWD to finish first :(

The car impressed me on the rollers yesterday when I was there! Fair play for keeping at it!

Picked the car up yesterday from efi parts. Very pleased with the results. 270hp and 260ft/lb at 1bar of boost. Drives soo nice, going to be perfect for on track with the midrange torque it has.

Took the car to have it's mot. Passed with no problems so just waiting for mapping now.

Maybe revving it on the base map bring the turbo the create boost had caused this. Especially if it was on base map.

You need a good surface finish for MLS head gaskets. 50RA or less. They can be reused if in working condition. Whats wrong with yours? Is the head flat?

Most of the boost piping is done . Just need a clamp for the throttle body and the idle control valve plumbed in.

Most of the boost piping is done. Just need to order a few more in.... Spent so much on silicone bends. The hole I cut is RAF style but I have f**k all tools here for that s**t. Not long left till its running again!

Engine in, most of it is hooked up not long till it's running. Damn its tight by the bulkhead! Also struggling to do the intercooler pipe work as I've smoothed one of the holes most of the others use.

Head rebuilt Turbo bolted to the manifold _________________

Helix 4 paddle clutch fitted Waiting on the head gasket to progress more.

F7R baby! 32mm inlet valves Just bought a GT28R so the power may creep upto 300hp ;) The head is back from its skim. Now to build it back up.

I have to say going boost is expensive :(. Doubled my budget already! Head stripped down for new valve stem seals and a light skim for the mls head gasket.

Big ends plastigauge All the pistons and rods in. Torqued up and released the arp bolts 3 times. Done them up to 46ft/Lb. Oooo Shiney
