Thanks again guys ,there seem to have been a lot of changes to everybodys cars while i have been away ,that turbo build sounds awesome there mark :cool: not done that much more to mine due to a huge lack of funds :cry: got the e36 rack conversion sorted and as my ultimate aim is a 3.0 e36m3 engine swap i fitted an e36m3 rad and pacet
fan when my old rad failed but thats pretty much it at the mo. oh and the long lost boot tray !

It should be, been slow but interesting getting to the final bit, now time to get dirty and feel some boost :D

:offtopic: but did you ever have a M30 Afm fitted on your car? Something that I've never been able to answer for a bloody long time :D

Stick with it mark i have seen the mental video clips of the e30 turbos
in europe :D i have bottled out of running the m30afm coz i cant see
what the fuelling is doing without an expensive remap ,i know a lot of people did not have a lot of sucess but i really feel there is extra power
to be had ,i spent ages tinkereing and got it running well but was worried
by better fuel consumption ! this pointed to a lean mixture somewhere along the line so it has been shelved ,i know garath and buster both had
some sucess and andyboy drove mine when he did the tbmw feature and wrote some positive comments on how the car went .

cheers .paul
