    RHD ITB's on 24v swap?

    Like the title says, will the RHD m5x ITB's and airbox fit in the e30 engine bay? I found a few motors locally that have potentially swayed me to not turbo the m20 due to a decent price...

    I know, I know, wont see huge gains, etc. The sound alone along with throttle response would be worth the additional money I'm thinking.

    I contacted them about this and they said they've heard it work in a e30 with a Clio booster, but they personally haven't done it.

      hmm....I wonder what the size difference is between the Clio booster and a 944 booster. I had completely thought about the brake booster swap in my planning and it looks like the 944 booster is going to be easiest.

        The airbox will hit the booster if even with a small e21 booster on a set of revshift 24v swap mounts. Also the Throttle linkage does not clear the hood.

          Good to know. I hadn't thought about the throttle linkage either...
