Would this manifold fit a M20 or M30, its from a 325td (E36). I could mod it a bit. Any help from the turbo boys would help.
Thanks

Mitch

Thought i could be a bit more specific, It will fit, you have to flip the manifold over so the turbo sits on top, the ports will line up still. You have to enlarge the top bolt holes massively and do notches on the bottom, but it will fit, trust me.

Doesn't give you a t3 flange contrairy to many peoples beliefs though.

Hmm, probably gonna get shot down in flames here, but if the ports line up with the manifold up the right way, surely they won't if it's upside-down?

Reason I say this is that the mounting studs aren't equally spaced around the port on the M20 head :(
