Agree AP, tbh there is simply no room down there, oil coolers take up the space under the headlights, the CFS radiator takes up the room behind the radiator support and the PSP 900i takes up the room in front. Turbo is too close to the radiator support to fit a stumpy pod, in fact the rad support had to been trimmed to give the 4" 90 degree silicone elbow enough clearance to fit the ss pipe. Without ordering a custom pod filter there is no room even to put a pod between the engine and the fan due to water and oil lines etc.... The only real option is a turbo guard... but not a fan

Knocked a dead bug off the bumper. Then I slapped it on the rear bumper, told her she looked good and set the asphalt on fire on my way to work.

Just replaced the oil filter housing gasket in about an hour. I purchased the gasket in January 2017 and finally worked up the courage to replace it. Easy peasy!!

A ratcheting 8mm wrench came in clutch!

Finally got catless downpipes installed on my XI. What a difference.

Power feels great, turbos sound awesome, and, I think I like the smell. All senses in harmony.

Swapped in M3 front control arms, 034 Motorsports engine and transmission mounts.

Scanned my DME for fun, and low and behold there is a shadow code for the water pump. I guess at 160k miles it's finally time to dust off my replacement kit and install it!

Swapped the belt. Felt like it needed to be done after the OFHG was neglected for a while. Old one still looks good so it'll live in the trunk!

Did you swap yourself? (Respect if so)

What brand did you go with?
