Hey guys I am not going to get to involved in this thread as of yet. I just want to make sure this site works well with google images first.

Test pictures:

MUST USE GOOGLE CHROME TO SEE PICS

This thread originated in February. I will post when it is current time.

HI all,

My name is Ryan and two months ago I purchased a bone stock, dealer maintained, 08 535i. The car has 150k miles and known wastegate rattle. The car runs well for what I am familiar with so far. I am still learning and plan to do various modifications based on personal preference and function. I usually do not post DIY's or build threads, but with not a lot of stuff out there for the 5 series guys I really want to help. Especially for the help I have already been given. Please feel free to ask questions and comment, but I have to warn you I am very busy and do not participate online everyday. I am going to try to do a series of "video DIY's" and post them here for reference. I do not really have the time to do write ups, plus videos might be easier to understand. I hope I can follow through with this and help bring more information to the 5 series community.

Now onto the build. Sunday I will be starting the process of:

-Replacing bad oem turbos with VTT oem replacements
-Boost monkey charge pipe (no leaks, works great)
-TAIL Q w/ 10psi spring (need to tap intake manifold for 7/32 vacuum)
-Custom silicone intake relocation from MPP (they do not know I'm about to hack up their 3 series products to fit the 5 yet)
-Relocate canisters(done, but need to be cleaned up. Possibly switch to one canister)
-Relocate cooling expansion tank
-Install Godspeed Intercooler for e90
-Relocate A/C suction line to cold side
-Various hose replacements
-Amazon (BMS) Catch Can

This is what I am going to be starting no later than Sunday. There may be additional projects that take place once I start getting into things. A few may include:

-DSC relocated to the M5 location
-VRSF *********
-Walnut blasting (will also tap numerous vacuum ports at this time.)
-black out headlights
-plasti-dip wheels, grill, and interior trim
-replica Mtech body kit (suggestions???)
-Find Solution for leaking sway bar

A few more pictures of when I got her.....





Stock engine bay......not for long...:happy



Most of the goodies.....


Charge pipe and fake tial.....fake tial caused vacuum leaks..



Garbage......




Real Tial Q with 10psi spring intalled....no more vacuum leaks.



Air canisters before.....

After.....



Back to homework.... fun stuff...

Well I give up then. Image sharing should not be this difficult. I can see them on my computer but only in Chrome. The only success I have had is photobucket but they want money now and a lot of it. I could not get imgur or any other app that creates codes to work well. So frustrating. I really want to share this stuff....

The only thing I can think of now is that it is my phone.....I am using a galaxy s7 on AT&T. This is what I am taking pictures with and they automatically save to google photos. I then copy image address and use the [IMG] prompts.

Are iPhones better for uploading pictures to forums?

When you first posted, I could view 4 photos. Tonight I can only view 1. Think you are going the wrong way...
