      Lol, my proturbo manifold should be here tomorrow morning. And I am up waiting until then.

      i still have no idea why you're giving up the turbo, but to each it own. Guess you prefer screamers.

        that's pretty funny :)

        In short, if you didn't see what I wrote before, turbos offer nothing that interest me. I guess it's easier to explain like this.......if i was at all interested in massive power then I wouldn't be into E30's.

            just wondering how that manifold would go with a turbo engine? i've seen some turbo'd engines with individual throttle body's but my boss said it is not wise. anyone know why?

              I think it's hard to properly measure load; turbo engines usually use MAP, but MAP doesn't work very well with ITBs.

                                thats something I would buy and never stop looking at my engine. I'd have my hood up all the time. Can't wait to see the new project.
