Re: Ews wiring help

Oh dear I've just noticed a slight mistake I connected the ews wire to pin 7 but on the wrong plug so it was wired into the ignition live is the ecu likely to be ok or have I just fried it. It is turning over regardless of were the key is, surly this isn't right.

M3 throttle bodies over m50 manifold

I've put an m52b28 in my e30 and have yet got round to fitting the m50 manifold but was wondering whether it would be better with m3 TBs I know they cost a bit more but the big question is will they help produce more power over all compared to an m50 manifold? Has any one tried this yet or no?
