Hi,

Has anyone tried out these bbtb or anything similar?

http://www.westcoastriots.com/obd1.html

Are they worth it or a waste of time?

Thanks

Matt

Judging by the amount of bullsh*te in the ad., I'd give it a miss on an otherwise unmodified engine. Ask yourself "why would BMW fit an inadequately sized TB to their engines?"

Hello matt86,
same with Brain, probably a waste of hard earned money on a std engine, if you are chasing hp and doing mods, then below link shows the benefit on a modified m20 2.7, same would apply to the m50. If you are running a std m52, I'd be replacing the intake manifold 1st as mentioned in 2nd link below, cheers.
