Turbo E39 Project v2

How is the catch can working? Since it has a breather to atmosphere, why 3 ports?

Is this your daily? Great cars you have built over the years sir.

Very very cool. I also have a manual (5-speed) 530i that I would like to turbo. What does something like this cost you think if you were to do a bit by yourself?

The catch can seems to be working well. The 3rd hose is baffled and goes to the turbo inlet in hopes to keep some of the vapors from under the hood at low speeds.

Yessir. Drive this car every day! Thank you for the kind words.

Cost is very dependent. I did all the work myself and hand fabricated all needed components. That kind of work could cost a fortune alone if you had to pay someone for it.

For anyone interested, I'm swapping in a 7 speed DCT trans into this car right now.
