ray sold me the following used one month ago for $500. i am overly grateful for his help and his stick-to-it-ness to track down all of these used (but only gently loved) parts. He's a GREAT guy...i would suggest any fellow BMW owners to patronize his company.

here's the list (it's gonna blow your mind):

Twin Turbo Exhaust Manifold
Single Turbo Exhaust Manifold
Rayjay adjustible wastegate
Exhaust manifold aluminum heat shield (appears to be custom cast)
Two Rotomaster T-3 Style Turbochargers for the Twin Setup
Custom Intake Manifold with integrated water to air intercooler
Some Piping
A regular u-joint style pinion yoke for my rear diff (to replace the unitized bolt up style u joint)

and you can read how much the kit they sell costs...and it makes less power than the twin! the twin setup mad 394 horsepower at 5600rpm on a stock 3.0l w/ ljet injection. (it did require o ringing the head and a copper head gasket, owners discovered...) that was at around 9 pounds of boost. the twins will support up to 19 pounds of boost on a 3.3 liter. i'll be running the 3.3 with a haltech. scary.

right place, right time and good luck....thanks again ray!! sad part is, i'll have to jettison my 3.0 cs as a potential chassis for this system, as it will absolutely destroy the car (broken windshields, busted diff mounts, snapped framerail runner welds, shattered shock & strut tower mounting points, etc...). so i'm off to find a four door bavaria or 3.0s to replace some of the other cars in my stable (selling), and i'll keep the coupe for a n/a sunday driver i suppose...or part it out to finance the rest of the turbo buildup...just depends.
