Beautiful peaces!! Just make sure your guru builds you a bracket to give support on the turbo flange so the Y pipe is not on stress all the time because with the weight of the turbo and the lateral movement the Y pipe will crack or break. Can't wait to see it running!. I hope you doing well physically too.
Good luck

Definitely, bmwguru is going to fab up a nice bracket to hold the turbo's weight. That's very near on the to-do list.
Thanks for the well wishes!
Well I made it up there and back, looks good so far!
I have pics on my camera but it'll be a little while before I can upload them.
We discussed several more things since it was easier to do while the car was right there. He'll be completing the exhaust, and eliminating the lower half of the trunk. My wife doesn't like that much, but that's why she drives her 4-door Civic with a massive trunk instead. 
I have more body mods on the way and more in mind upon the return of MIDTRBO, I'll get there eventually.
Dave and I both had a very miserable month I think, but we're both pretty much back on track (I have a new Camaro DD now, and I'm healing nicely from my motorcycle accident. :/ ) More updates to come before long...
OBTW, Dave's orange/black GT and Joey's VR6 powered Fiero are even more awesome in person! Pics don't do the 'drool factor' justice.

Still gotta upload my pics, first I have to swap more practical wheels onto the new DD then take a bunch of pics of one of the AWD Talons that I have for sale, then hopefully I can post up the Haus pics that I took. I'm shooting for all of that today. I'm finally recovering enough from my motorcycle accident that I can move my upper body around freely and much less painfully.
I haven't received word from Dave as to what he's done since my last update, but I'm still in the process of ordering and finding a few parts to get to him. We are reaching the home stretch as far as him firing this thing up, though!
Unboundmo, no reason to be jealous! This thing is still just an old faded 80's GM car that hasn't run in several years.  [This message has been edited by ALLTRBO (edited 05-09-2010).]
