It's not as simple as you might think, you'll need to weld the down pipe and may have to cut some custom intercooler piping. Also you may need to wire a resistor box depending on your injectors. And most important, get it tuned :thumb:

I'm documenting my z6 turbo install, but it's taking forever because I don't have time to work on it. If you want to wait 2-3 months though, I should have a full diy ready to post.

Hopefully have the motor out in the summer and decide for sure boost that motor or get a whole new one. I would probably end up rebuilding my motor i have no idea the history its swapped into my dx and im the tenth owner ahaha
