Its a start !!!!

I think that the manifold has to be mounted upside down, but it will fit with some enlarging of the holes...

sweet i need to source a lot more parts tho (on a budget tho)

You win it in the end?

Think you're gonna need a bigger turbo

yup its in my garage right now hee hee

for Ԛ£85 i suppose you cant really go wrong but dont diesel turbos tend to be quite small?like already said though its a start

less lag

Connecting the air intake to the heater blower would help out a 320i !!!!!

Smaller turbo would be a good start, less lag ?

There's smaller and then there's too small though.

There's quite a likelyhood that the materials used in the construction of the exhaust housing won't be fond of the heat generated by the petrol engine too

arent diesel turbos a different set up as well? i was told a while back that dump valves dont work on them for example.dont know if thats true or not though but im sure someone will correct me shortly i expect

Think that's only when they're attached to a diesel engine.

The basic workings of the turbocharger are the same for both petrol and diesel applications.

The local chavs around here dont seem to care....Theres no end of 309's and Escorts diesels with dump valves aroun here........

Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Clak Pssst......

i was hopeing that using a small turbo would still give a good boost but still be able to run on a stock engine for the time being ..........phil

Diesel turbo's work fine on petrol engines but getting the right sized one is critical or you'll only get frustrated, i.e too small = no top end or too big = no bottom/midrange.

T3 on M20B25 is about as small as you should go, unless you're greedy and have two like Alex

That baby piss TD turbo needs going back on ebay and get yourself something a bit bigger, std cossie turbo would be a huge improvement for sure!

HTH, Mark.
