One of the cleanest SR swaps I have seen. Money tends to do that...

I agree with you. I believe Electrical tape has some type of insulation that disipates heat.

sorry for correcting you, but polyurethane is a material that provides protection against both the high temperatures of radiant heat and exposure to flame and sparks.... but i'm not sure what you'd need polythane wrapping for considering polythane is used as an adhesive for roofing companies ... but your just a mad scientist aren't you

The owner of this car said that it was cheaper to do a SR swap over buying a aftermarket turbo kit

Cheaper than buying a turbo kit for the stock z3 engine? Thats bullshit. A bolt on kit would be no more than $3500usd. Unless you are factoring in built internals into that.

Owner said something like cheaper than fixing the blown motor and turbo it, or buying an M series motor and build it for turbo.
