    M30 TWIN turbo kit. Corky Bell/Korman Ultra rare

    After 10 years of hoarding it, I have decided to sell my m30 twin turbo kit.
    The story as told to me by Korman is this.
    Corky bell and Ray Korman decided to go in together and build twin turbo kits for the 633 cars. Bell was to build the kits and Korman was to install and tune them. The initial run was 20 kits and after that the Bell factory was burned. Sadly, all of the tooling was lost in the fire and the kits never had a second production run.
    I have seen many partial kits over the years, But this is the only complete kit I have ever seen.
    The kit consists of
    1. Cast iron twin turbo manifold with external waste gate
    2. 2 rotomaster turbos.
    3. 3 into 1 downpipe (needs repaired at waste gate flange)
    4. Merge adapters from the turbos to the throttle body
    5. liquid intercooled Intake manifold (including heat exchanger and top)
    6. injector rail with original BEGI RRFPR
    This kit was designed to use a factory 633 throttle body which I do not have. You will also need to provide your own intercooler heat exchanger and reservoir.
    I'm asking 5k plus shipping for a piece of history. I have seen partial kits go for the 4k range so I believe this is fair.

                              I was never given an official number for HP but the guy I bought it from had a 633 motor in a Bavaria and was claiming over 400 rwhp with this kit. How much of that is legend and how much is fact is unknown. He never told me anything about his engine internals at all. I got it looking to build a really wild e21, but It really badly interferes with the right frame rail and strut tower.
