Yeah mick that goes without saying lol
But as the m52 is alloy just wondering does n20 make it run hotter?? Is it safe to run an alloy m52 on the gas?
The result of a nice m52 and a 100 shot blasted in would be quite something!

A 2 door e30 with 8 cylinders, what could be better

I'm put off by them not being pulsoids. But the reviws look good on other sites.
As for an m52 on gas. If it is set up correctly there should be no problems at all. An there is no way gas would give you whip lash on any lump unless you were running 900 hp shot's.

Hi mate the intake pipe is from the U.S see link below and the rest of the piping is just a intercooler kit off ebay
