i get these facts from BMW im a certified tech and get alot of training... i just took the test for the e60 m5 a couple of weeks ago!

btw the most important airflow of most cars is the air underneath it!

i'll find the exact number on power loss at what speed its cool ****

If they had just run it alongside the block, it would be okay. Well, that and use a real attachment system instead of the 4 cent tie strap. The BMW should be much more professionally done given their asking price.

No that my fuel system that Pruven Performance installed in my evo just check out they way they put my fan also im like a tie wrap evo.

did anyone notice how the charge air on the drivers side goes to the back, through the rear bumper then comes back to the other turbo where the two lines are t'd together?

i also dont see any oil return lines, someone point those out to me

I concur with you and that is why I made that comment. I work in the aviation industry (USAF) and we stick to the highest standard of safety and quality. Craftmanshift is everything.

Just seeing that picture(picture #5) only shows you how pathetic, unprofessional and poorly done safety wiring job those guys did.

It looks like they gave a pair of pliers to a 5 year old and told them: Hey boy, he re is your tool, safety wire this turbo while having fun.

On a different note, WTF is all that Crocodile Dandy hunter crap is that on those seats

, they tried to make a exotic car by inserting Crocodile skin and they got a disastrous extravaganza wanabee.
