I haven't read through the entire thread, but have you test fitted any of this on an M20 E28?

Have you or anyone you know actually gone this route? Not trying to be a dick, I'm just curious if you or anyone here has first hand experience with it. It's an intriguing idea.

I can't have him one-upping me *all* the time.
Not to mention the Mazdaspeed 3 over your GTi....

Get that damn IX on the road, foo!
3 of 5. The e21 runs it's just sitting in storage right now. I've got to get that thing moved so I guess your percentage is higher but we are equal on running cars!

Downpipe/exhaust may be slightly different for clearance of iX bits, but that should be it.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

Watch the strut tower for interference with WG placement if you add provisions for an external WG.

Yea that bit about the oil pressure switch is dead on. When I was pulling the motor to reseal it that was the most pain in the arse switch to get off. It was way tougher to deal with that my M30B35 swap harness and that thing is right up against the firewall but at least it has access.
Would there be any risk of doing a T off the oil filter housing, like too much pressure or flow risking blowing the turbo seals? I figure if I'm relocating things anyways then I could easily plug into that.
Anyone know of a header that fits an ix and doesn't have an external wastegate setup? I'd like to go with the internal setup and dump it back into the exhaust for that sleeper sound. CXRacing has one but I'm lazy and don't want to weld a stainless plug on it to cover the tube for the external WG.
