Re: ghetto M5 twin turbo kit (Quickgti1.8t)
ghetto? The twine running through all the Bolts is actually a huge saftey deal for the car but more so for the installer... if thats there noone can say well this came loose and caused the boost to spike and the motor blew so its your fault... or somthing like that.

Well you obviously can't weld now can you. Look at those welds, they are terrible, the flanges are thing and look like they have scale flaking off them. The turbo inlet pipes look like they have something flaking off them as well. And wire going through the bolts? Come on, there no need for that if your sealing surfaces are flat. The general fabrication on this car is something that I would expect to see from my 17 tear old sister. Those exhaust tips are making me sick.

The safety wire I don't see as a problem (though they do suck at safety wiring). The lack of quality and craftsmanship I do though, at least for the amount of money they're asking. That's something I'd expect to see on homemadeturbo.
For that much money it should all be ceramic coated, Adel Wiggins clamps and V-bands, titanium exhaust, etc.

"Suck at safety wiring" is the understatement of the century. I worked on helicopters while in the military and I can tell you from experience that is complete garbage. If you are going to do it, at least do it right. That safety wire job won't do **** for preventing the bolts from backing out. Twin turbo or not, there is no way that car is worth $350,000.

Re: (jaydmcrx)
that is an absolutely terrible fab job....seriously, for that kind of money, the system shouldnt look like it was fabbed by a recovering crack addict....but what we DO know is that some jackass will probably pay that much for that heap...and THAT tells everyone in the forum that you're modifying the wrong kind of cars.

is it an active kit? we installed a 35r kit on a m3 not too long ago and for what the customer payed 12k for we could have made and bought for about 5k and used that extra money and got a good ems and got rid of the chipped ecu and the porsche maf but the car gets down when the charge pipes and wg arent hitting the road because they hang so low

Yah I guess there are some like this but all of the rich folks I have ever known got that way by working hard and paying attention. From digging a bit this looks to be a concept car so I'm not quite sure anyone has coughed up 350K for this yet. I read they plan on building 10 more examples just like this one. I just hope this isn't the final product but then again I'm not in the market for anything like this.
