    picked up a 524TD manifold+turbo today

    there was a 524td at the junk yard so I yanked the manifold and turbo.

    besides custom piping and alot of beer's what is needed to stick this on a 86 325 (eta I think)

    also any advice on what dificulties on a turbo setup for the M20? I know the in's and out's fo the E30, but I'm S14 specific, so the M20 looks a bit strange to me right now (got a 86 325 4 door for free the other day as a beater, dork around with car)
    thanks
    Eric

      $25 - what's wrong with it? the shaft has no play and the turbo spins freely

      this is going on an eta for fun, not looking for 300hp here

        that is not garbage Jordan , so shut up!! :P

        25 for that crappy part J/K lol is very good prie, about the turbo size not sure if will be enough, try to make that manifold fit in your m20 will be a pain in the ass but is possible.

          don't you have to modify the bolt holes a bit? IIRC there is a pretty good picture of how to modify it correct?

            You have to modify the bolt holes alot, the turbo is itty bitty, and the manifold itself is small.

                The crank is very much worth getting. the dimentions are the same as a 325e crank, but it is forged. the 325e crank is cast.
