Both.. On my days off my relaxing time is cutting and welding what ever stuff I want to add on.. I made my own oil catch can and the oil drain piping.. Forgot to take pics.. I was bad when I was younger with all my time on my race car.. Once I raced and broke my car bearing knock on Friday night.. Towed car home and the very same night took the engine out and got a new one Saturday morning from gearbox center.. Motor fitted and went for tuning on Saturday afternoon.. Bearing knock on the dyno..i was nearly devoiced a few times due to time and money on cars:smilebounce: it's something I can not stop.

Car is off the the stand. Just to run oil and water lines to turbo and then ready for startup

That looks insane. Love it!!!

I think you should invest in a turbo blanket though, Your oil cap will melt and the tappet cover gasket will take a beating and your bonnet lining and anything else in that vicinity is going to take a beating.

Just a thought.

Otherwise that is looking beautiful!

Mooi:bravo: we need videos, are you still using the stock M3 oil cooler and radiator?

Definitely. Stock oil cooler but aluminium radiator

Small update..Car is on a road map and only on 0.3bar as I'm still sorting a few small issues..It's insanely fast with a super fast spool..the sound of the turbo and dump is awesome:smilebounce:
