Re: M50 turbo inlet manifold

fair point.
im not thinking of quite that much. something in the region of 500bhp

silly question?

i don't spend a massive amount of time on the zone but how/when do you change from a "Zone newbie" to whatever is next up. I've noticed some people have "boost junky" in their space. ps i do own a turbo'd e30. don't shoot me down to hard if theres a simple answer to this
