Congratulations Alvin - another fine atan888 creation. Can we expect a proper photoshoot soon?

I saw your 3.5CSL article in the BMW Performance magazine too.

Alvin you are going to be thrilled with the results. Rob took me for a ride yesterday and the car pulls STRONG.

Car is very strong and feels like there is no turbo lag at all. It's so unreal with those huge snails and I love it Its a better than a roller coaster ride in 4wd

I think that's the best sounding turbo I've ever heard.

Congratulations Alvin. Hard to believe it's been that long. I'm sure your patience will be well worth it.

This is one of the nicest work that i have seen. I'm also in the process of doing the exact same thing and hopping it will come out as nice as yours.

Post some videos for us and more information. Have you dyno the car yet? What size are the turbo's?

This thread is 2 1/2 years old. From what I recall reading, Alvin never could quite keep this car running right, and I think it became a costly nuisance. Someone else bought it, and I know someone else just sold it recently, or was trying to, for about $100,000 or so.

Sort of a sad ending to a very interesting build. Too bad it never really came together quite right; I know he spent a boat load of money on it.
