hidden turbo?

Put a heat sheild over it, paint it black.
boom done.

I was going to post a pic of my setup and then realized i don't have any installed pics. The biggest problem on hiding a turbo even with the TCD bottom mount is the big ass external wastegate sitting on top of everything

gotcha.

S52 is obd2 and therefore must stay OBD2. Same with any motor.

^ But you cannot downgrade an engine, example; 97 s52 in 91 318iS w/ OBD1 conversion.

What do you mean? How is that downgrading the engine?

Just curious.

If you use a tcd manifold it can be hidden EZ.

I got pulled over and inspected by some nerd cop that had no idea
what he was looking at. He just pointed out the K&N. but just paint everything black.

Yes, they don't really seem to look for trouble with an old car that most don't even know what kind of enigne configurations were available.

Especially on that car...

Where there is a will, there is definitely a way.. and if that means finding a crooked smog guy....;)

Yes, that's why you must claim it as a 1995 s50b30 (us spec) when getting it legalized/reff'd. If you wish to legalize an s52 swap you must retain everything from the 97' m3 at which the e30 must possess. Engine/electronics/emissions for the motor.
