that's a big difference in size...
I'm starting to think this may be one of the first z4 sets they've sold...
 
Fantastic work! Looks brilliant :thumbsup: having decided to keep the Z, I am eagerly awaiting your comments on this kit: build quality, instructions, ease of assembly, mapping, final result. Good work mate!

Quality of kit is excellent

Instructions ok but I will be editing it and adding info and pictures to help.

Installation is a big job,
removal of all induction system,
front bumper off
Both headlights off
Rad fan off
Undertray off
Alternator bolts off
Belts off
Rad top hose off
Injectors off
Engine covers off
Coolant emptied and hoses disconnected from expansion tank.
Front slam panel / rad support bolts removed

Issues:
•New top hose wrong length.
•Supercharger belt too long. Correct belt http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150559178930
•Breather pipes brittle and cracked so need to order another (not in kit) new hose http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371021055629
•Bottom alternator bolt a bitch to get on, front slam panel and rad off !!
•New induction pipe work and location of air mass meter tight throughs slam panel, you need to cut and extend wiring to air mass meter.

Done?! Damn! That's brilliant! Was the ECU flash easy enough? Have you driven it at all yet? If so, first thoughts? Good work
 
Looks great mate. Keep up the good work, nice to see people pushing the boundaries.!!

Looking forward to hearing about your first test drive :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
First test drive, wow what a difference!!! Sound different and it pulls through the gear, feels loads quicker. Money well spent

Excellent, did it "blow" your socks off? Any dyno runs planned?
