AutoSport Harness today, Oil Pan Spacer on tomorrow, Gauges should be here wednesday or thursday (maybe I can install early), picked up a slew of tools along with the 3/8 NPT tap this weekend from Harbor Freight, gauge pod dropped off to the interior shop, should be getting gates belt and spark plugs from the vendor wed/thurs, have to go grab some oil and break cleaner and I will be getting the car up on jack-stands and removing the bumper and grill one day this week (as well as taking the engine cover, intake piping and splash guards off). *keeping fingers crossed*

Also, for me it IS a financially smart decision. I get the M3 performance I initially wanted at a drastically reduced cost. Even if I have a $12K repair bill it is still a wash (the M3 I wanted would have been $65K out the door, the G was $40K and the S/C and all the NA toys, wheels included, are ~$13K) . I could pay off the G and the S/C tomorrow with my savings alone. I could also pay off MOST of my house at the same time, but then I'd have to start all over with my retirement savings, college funds, etc... Please get off of the "financially smart decision" stuff it's getting really old. (edit- and as you can tell I'm taking it personally since you seem to be quoting my posts) 
Also, I'm going to go to the local BMW forums and see if I can get an E46 M3 to go to the track with me just so that I can race it (just to prove to you how fast the Vortech S/C'd G really is).

I don't think I'll be making "well over 400rwhp" with this kit (especially right away)! I'm going for a safe/conservative tune with a goal of 370rwhp at first. In another year or two, if all goes well, maybe I'll bump things up a bit but in the meantime I'll stay about 50rwhp under the "well over 400rwhp" amount. 
What oil cooler are you running Randy? Did you have a problem with the install?
