Looks to be a little pricey for not being completely sorted out. Could be fun once all buttoned up but I it could be a while between here and there.

I think that is a future headache. Looks cobbled together. But at least it has a stock R56 intercooler on it.

I dont get why he has two blow off valves.

One at the IM in front of the ITB's and one at the turbo

Itb+turbo is not a bad thing. Rb26 is itb +turno and that is a successful block. I think its a great project if it can be cleaned up more. More attention to detail and some things reoriented. Not worth that kinda money though. Maybe parts wise but quality wise :-(. But I do like the project, definitely a "get er done" job and I bet that thing does get it done.

It is a built engine... to say ITB'S are bad with turbos is incorrect.

It says it comes with ITBS that are not installed.

The turbo is on there now. LOoks like 2 different pics at 2 different stages with BOV in either position, probably not concurrent. wonder how it runs though.
