    M20 cam sensor selection

    Does anyone have any recommendations for the best cam sensor to go with for the M20? I was going to get a custom blockoff plate made with a spot for one on my turbo build.

    Should a guy be going the GM route or is this one the one to have?

      I used a generic hall sensor like that. It didn't have a plug though

          I used an M54 sensor. it reads off a single "tooth" that I made. I don't know that there's a "best" sensor but I like that it looks stock and uses an OEM connector.

          make sure it's hall effect - not all BMW cam sensors are. the M52 used some sort of weird active sensor for example.
