Hi, I expect everyone knows the Gruppe M carbon airbox for the inlet manifold for the E36 M3 engines with multiple throuttle bodies, the really big curvy inlet manifold. Does anyone know if this would be any good for a turbo conversion? Can the air box for the inlet manifold be too big? and would a smaller one be better?

i dont see why it would be too big.. but how do you plan to run your intake and i/c pipework.

i think it would be fine as long as your maf is in the stock location 'if' you are even using one!
