I’m really not sure what the difference is between these. They are somehow priced differently but appear to be the same part.

Yep, check the Group Buy section for the thread "Steering Linkages" started by DanThe and have a look at his comparison picture on the angle of the steering knuckle between E30 and E36 rack... I think it's on page 5.

The two joined pipes on the left in the V are now gone (relocated to other side) they are wastegate pipes. As you can see I cut some heatshield off the firewall, still can't fit 3" down there without touching everything :(

Re: Picture request - RHD Turbo cars

Hmmm, I'm not sure I can get a 3" bend back under the manifold to run that side of the steering knuckle.

I'm looking at ripping out the steering couple and using a solid spacer instead to get some more room.

Thanks guys - any more photos appreciated!

Alex - have a look at the MicroSquirt. DIYAutoTune are also in the process of building DIYPNP, which is basically plug and pray MicroSquirt for the 55pin Motronic.

You could also look at running something like a S-AFC but for MAP not AFM .... no?

The moroso oil accumulator basically holds oil pressure in a cylinder when the car is off, when you turn the ignition it releases it back into the system allowing it to be pressurised prior to start up.

Re: Freakin' awesome! Guess what I just bought :D

Keeping it in the turbine housing and manifold will help in spool-up, once its into the exhaust it shouldnt be a problem.
