    Sure. I'd need geometry, or one to reverse engineer. I doubt I'd be cheaper than someone producing them in qty, unless you think having a qty machined would be worth while.

        Damn. Huge blow on the progress today, although for good reason. My tuner has decided it would be best to get the car running on the Adaptonic Normally aspirated and put some miles on it, before turbo charging.

        Makes great sense and will make for a better end product, but at the same time very dissapointing. So no Turbo M until mid to late summer at the earliest.

        Oh well.

                I will indeed take this as motivation.. This bastard won't give me the engine!! I'm not going to paint it until it warms up, and lately I have just been saving up my dimes for welding consumables and parts for my exhaust manifold. Man I just bought an argon tank. They aren't cheap! And I spent the rest of my pay check on filler rods and stuff!

                    Nah, but it was still 275$. I didn't think about consumables when I bought the welder lol.

                      Oh, and the whole wiring the garage for it. They quoted me for 500$. This just sucks.

                        Those would be simple problems. The worst thing about the way mine is going, is I'll actually have the car partially modded, but not turboed. Boo! Can't even go to any events because no turbo = no show for me.

                            Sounds interesting. Ill be excited to see when you finish. I just recently purchased an M5 down in Arkansas last week. Good to see that youre one of the few on here who owns one. Forced induction on the S62 will be somthing else. Goodluck!

                                What?  An Update?  Holy crap!!

                                These FINALLY came today:

                                Still waiting on the tank and pump.  Ordered a bunch of REALLY expensive stuff from VAC, probably another couple weeks before delivery on that.

                                        I was surprised to see them in there to tell you the truth.  The only thing I can think is he wanted to make sure the spring stays seated together in the hat.

                                        I will ask whe nI give him a ring to get the start up process squared away.

                                          My new clutch FINALLY came in.  I ordered this thing at the beginning of summer.  Slight weight savings over stock.

                                          Damnit didn't realize the display was flashed out.  Pretty sure it was 56.4lbs.
