yea, it should make a bit of a statement when the hood's popped
cant use the riser for the oil fill and cap itself wont go into valve cover - is there any years that will work?
after test fitting everything, i pulled turbo/dp back out to wrap the downpipe, tighten all the hardware for the manifolds/plugs/put on wires/etc. started putting it all back into stay and had a hell of a time getting downpipe back together to turbo and wastegate but just took some finesse wigglin the **** out of it and getting a couple threads at a time. moved all the o2 sensors, maf, amp meter and had enough slack on the harness to hook them all back up. turbo to ic pipe needs to go in but easy,and finish up downpipe to the rest of the exhaust
got a few more things to button up and should be time to fire up - mostly turbo drain and transmission cooler got to move and hook back up, coolant reservoir can probably halfass for now but will swap eventually

been just taking my time and trying not to cut any corners. going to suck cause once i get it all back together i cant turn it up much till i get more pump/injector. will prob grab injectors and just push the flex fuel pump for a bit

we might have an oil cap that screws right back in there.

Think I found some holley caps that say they go right into the valve cover
https://www.holley.com/products/acce.../parts/241-224
bout time for an oil drain, waiting on new oil pan gasket. And I had to grab a new transmission cooler, couldnt find anywhere good to put the trucool 40k back in

yep - two different sized groves, the holley cap worked though
got the oil drain into the pan, finished up all the intercooler pipes, drilled/tapped turbo cover and intake for wg/bov references, checked to make sure everything is tight
still have a few things to finish up waiting on new transmission cooler (just loop'd the lines together so i could start up check for oil leaks)
need to finish up exhaust back to the rest, to loud with dumped exhaust to notice any leaks
Did get it started back up today

couple of "pre-tuning" questions...
zr-1 ma[ sensor should be a direct swap for my 2012, part#12592525?
should i break out the iat sensor from the maf and use a dedicated one?
stock e38 pcm will allow up to 127lb injectors?

Yes, that MAP should be a direct swap. Change the linear and offset settings as required.
If you are still going to use that MAF, leave the IAT sensor. No real reason to get rid of it.
A 2012 E38 will allow up to 127lb/hr before scaling is required, you can easily double that size of flow rate if need be with a few tricks. But if you are under 127lb/hr just plug in the correct data and be on your way.
