It's in an e32 though - and not in English :shifty I was too lazy to translate, someone let me know if you find power figures, lol.

whoa :o That's sick!
I would like to see the intercooler piping routing

Nice thread, but i don't see it working that great for the street. Maybe OK for the 1/4 mile track with the size of the turbos and the motor better be built. They look like they're 35R and bigger. Guy needs a th400 or a 6 speed in it or the autotragic will fail over and over again.
I think this will be a show car/dyno queen just to show off the twin turbos and guys ability of fabricate.

Nice engine and all, but...

What in the hell am I looking at?

His ability to fabricate is actually pretty shitty. He may be able to cut pipes with proper degrees, but his welding is sub-par.

The intercooler design is unnecessary and not optimal. A single dual in/single out would have made more sense and could have been made to take up less room and block less of the radiator. The oil cooler could have been placed in the fog light area as well for the same reason. Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion he's quickly going to find the limits of that stock accordion pipe as soon as it sees any boost.

Overall great attempt and nice to see it done, but I agree that the car likely won't work too well in its current state. I'll be popping in occasionally to see his progress though.

He didn't even take the time to clean up the bay?

Kind of ghetto, but pretty cool none-the-less. Lots of cash invested there.

By fabrication i meant he can work with the metal okay, but the welding isn't that great. But not everybody has a nice MIG/TIG, especially in a foreign country and working with what you got is your only choice.
There's two ways to do things, learn from your own mistakes or learn from others mistakes.

Wow, very nice!

Hooking up to the stock accordion intake pipe is kinda ghetto, and will surely pop once he gets some healthy boost going. I think his intercooler setup actually works pretty well, since that way he didnt have to route charge pipe from the one turbo all the way to the side, and cross back over it again with the larger diameter cool side charge pipe.
