Very cool project, why do you say 'probably won't like it'??

I think it's cool 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Having the ali elbow at such a 90 degree angle will cause you turbulance on the intake Gem, see if you can have a gradual bend insted fitted, nothing with a sharp angle. :cool:

Good effort on this one, and I'm amazed that we haven't seen more diesel conversions on E30s - makes a lot of sense for those of us who use them daily...
