Its nice to know some of my old parts are going to your turbo setup. Good luck matt.
and so it begins - my X3 turbo install day 3
4
it was rainy and dark today, but I finally got the car into storage and started the tear down for the turbo install. I only worked about 45 minutes to an hour. I got all the intake off, new tib 2.0L throttle body on, and one bolt off the exhaust manifold.
tomorrow I hope to get the rest of the manifold bolts out and have the cat and exhaust unbolted from it.
pics!
the setup:

tib TB installed:

my workspace - a 10x20 storage unit with no power or heat - D-oh!

The catback I somehow plan to use with this setup. It's from SS Autochrome and made for a 95 accent, but I think with a cut and weld in just the right place, it'll join nicely to the downpipe:

Here's a full list of the components:
s-coupe manifold
Garrett T15 turbo
side-mount intercooler from a DSM with custom piping
Turbo XS blowoff
Tib Throttle Body, injectors, and MAF(don't have the friggin maf yet - grrrr)
I still need to get my RRFPR from summit racing and an SAFC(probably from ebay)
