EPIC BUILD!!! - Top Mount PT6262 M Coupe Turbo

as the title suggests, my brother Brian has been performing surgery on his 1999 Z3 M Coupe for the past month or so with the help of our good friend and fabricator Shawn of Fifteen52 (1552v2.com). i originally wanted to start this thread back when Brian first started the project, but i just didn't have the time until now. at this point, the build part of the project is essentially done and is just awaiting a tune. however i will do my best to "cut and paste" the pictures and updates from another forum so that you can all see the progress and ask questions. i'm sure some of you are members on one or more of the boards we posted a build thread on (such as bimmerforums.com), and may already be familiar with this particular build. nevertheless, i thought this would be a good place to post it as well, since you 135i and 335i guys are boost junkies too . currently i don't believe either Brian or Shawn are members here, but i will get them to create accounts so they can converse and field questions as well. so without further ado, on to the build...
