Got the other turbo on...... rear inlet attached. But.....I think Rob sent me the wrong outlets. They are not gonna fit. Mid sections are too long and they overlap.

Edit.... outlets are correct. I had the motor up too high for proper alignment.

i may need a set of those myself.
They are nice. Probably not necessary in my case. But.....I got them anyway.

They go on great from underneath. I honestly cannot fathom doing these from the top.

I remember doing the silicone outlet from up top. Had to disconnect the ac line and squish them down in there. Using tiny tools to get the v bands back in...... was a real treat.

For a car that's wider than the e90 you would think the engine bay would have loads of room to work. Nooooo, just the opposite!
Yeah, that pic makes my e84 X1 engine bay look like the grand canyon...
