Clean install and it must sound great, but BMW Power all the way in any swap I ever do.

Rao, I don't know what your plans are, but you might want to try to get that air filter further down in the bumper to get cooler air in. Don't know if that bumper has the room that an M5 does, but I'd put money on it running better in the summer.

Congrats on getting it going. I'll have to show that to my buddy. He just sold his 550WHP 240Z and always has a fit when I tell him what BMW parts cost. Maybe he'll come over to the dark side.

Mother almighty. Mother of God.

This is amazing. I like! Torque GALORE!

This must be at 600+ torque and hp @ flywheel.

Everyone fears you now. Its like a villain from a scary movie, that is infected with something bad, and has super powers and no one can stop him and everyone is afraid.

You can have my engine if I get this setup in return.

Also you need to make a "stock" looking intake plenum with this logo on top:

Nice swap, I always admire the guy that are able to do these kinds of projects and I love that you left it a real sleeper. Also a good choice going with the PD blower since you have a T-56 in it. Likely much more enjoyable than teaming a pair of turbos with the manual trans.

I'm local and work in Naperville and will definitely have to keep my guard up if I come across a sedate looking 540 with unusual sounds emanating from it. Nicely done. If we ever cross paths, I'm definitely gonna motion you to pull over to check it out.

I will be taking a look at the intake and intercooler layout in the warmer weather to maximize both systems.

I'd be very interested in seeing your CTS-V
