Got a bunch more stuff assembled today.... Ran some nice blue silicone vacuum lines.....
I see bmwfans.info was down today, lucky for me I remembered the realoem.com page.
Was working on renewing the air duct manifold which connects from the turbos to the intercoolers, and it seems the rubber hose/boots are not sold separately; even tho there are BMW parts numbers on them. It seems they had a hidden prefix to the part numbers , but I didn't find them after a few minutes of searching. Oh well. Will buy some dooded up stuff from Amazon and see how it works (pop! Is gonna be from the pressure i imagine)
And after cleaning up both intercoolers, one has a hole/ puncture. Prob from either disassembly or was dropped. I'll have to scavenge the one on the dead motor.
And those dam MAP sensor connectors. Such brittle plastic. Broke the driver's side intake manifold and intercooler plastics. Smh. Scavenge those too from the dead motor. More parts on order. Until next week or two. Slow process.......
