Hi ya people, i am thinking of doing a little turbo conversion on my 325i and was wondering if a manifold from a 2.4 / 2.5 turbo diesal would bolt on to my head ????

has i can weld a 4 bolt t3 flange on to it with no problem...

can anyone help me please ???

many thanks scotty

The port spacing lines up ok, but serious re drilling/filing needs to be done on the bolts. With the cheapness of potentially shoddy chinese tubular turbo manifolds, i'd be more inclined to try that, than have a cheap shoddy log manifold that will sink hours of your time. Trust me on that one.

I have one of the BMW TD manfolds with the work already done to make it fit going spare at the moment.It'll just need the T3 flange and it's ready to fit.

I'm not ignoring you fella.

I just want to get the manifold looked out and bolted to a head, so i can get a couple of pics so you can see the work's been done,prior to negotiations on the price.
Please leave it with me till the weekend.
