That's still $2,520, half of what you're going to make a whole kit for, and I can tell you right now you're not getting a 40% discount on the Z4M setup. They are spending about 10x the amount of time on this ECU and harness than they are on the M3 setup, aka not a discountable setup right now. So, this 5k turbo setup is going about as far as this thread, and that's nowhere.

Would it have saved some breathe by just saying 'Retail on the ProEFI harness & ECU alone is almost the budget for this build total ?'.
Obviously A4RIngedONE8T is as determined to discourage this low-buck project as he can.
Which is odd in that most of us on this forum have been complimentary on your build thread.
This is one of those builds where joy could be had if a $700.00 DIY'er ECU such as MegaSquirt would fit the bill. Oh wait.....they do ! That includes harness and sensors in most cases.
