There is a lurking BMW engineer on here some where.
Back in 2001 I uploaded these dwgs on my integrated turbo intake
manifold and inter cooler. The dwgs were on the old web site under
the KIS section. The 3D came later after I started using
Rhino. BMW copied the idea in the Mini supercharged intake system
in 2003 :)

Also some BMW engineer recently mentioned a steam turbine bottoming
cycle in a Car & Driver article which we discussed on here about a year ago.
Bottoming cycle engines are a form of turbo compounding to
drastically improve the BSFC. We will probably see something
like it on a BMW very soon.

I am not complaining. I like to see my ideas implemented :)
