Nice, so far. However, that air filter doesn't look nearly big enough (sq/in of filter material). The Cap'n

Unbelievable!!!!

This is going to be an awesome car!

It's got to be a little scary when you itemize your parts list, just don't attach any $$$ next to it.

You are doing a beautiful job.

Cap'n Krusty, the Pelican turbo guys came up with the air filter idea when the
Fabspeeds were selling for around 300.00 RarlyL8 swears by them.

These only cost 6 bucks to replace and they work on big 4 barrels, but I will keep
your suggestion in the back of my mind and check it out.

'Chappy if you've got a little extra room...let me send you one of these filters.
On a new 2007 BMW 335i twin turbo, we made +13 RWHP and +8 RWTQ with this filter (over oe paper element) , and excellent throttle response. I had -0- grille clearence on my biturbo 6 , so I hand built a custom cone filter (real short) and instantly started building boost @ 500 rpm earlier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
I've been busy building new prototypes at work for new customers , and tuning junior's 2.0 for track events...but stumbled on your progress thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I do put about 3 hours a night in on my GTK upgrade (black six) , so when it's done I'll post up the results. Keep up the trick work.
Pic is MSDS filter sys for the '07 335i/ biturbo
peace

Progress report.

Because I have had to pull some late nighters to get work done on the car I haven't been able to post as I go along I am always to tired and had to many frosty's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) . This has been progressing way slower than I expected. How is it that I have parted out 4 914's over the past few years, never thrown away a nut or bolt but am constantly scrambling to find a clean one.
As you can see nothing is going to be put back on the car unless it is in like new condition. I have got the front trunk pulled together now and will work my way to the back of the car. I should go faster now as most of the stuff going back in is cleaned up or new, and ready to go in. The interior progress will post next featuring my reupholstered leather interior and kick ass sound system.

Looks great- good work takes time, great work takes more. I am hopeful of having the 914 turbo up and running this weekend. Finally. Hey, what are the flex tubes along the sides of the wheel arches in the front trunk for? And, have you called "Excellence" magazine to schedule your photo shoot yet? Maybe we should gang up on them for a feature article, "Turbos of the mid west!"

Keep up the good, no, great work!

Brake cooling. Just hung the doors and new handles, it's starting to look like a car again.
