Hey all,

i am fairly new to the E30 scene, but as i have now purchased a tourer, i want to start doing as much of the work as i can myself.

i found the link below in the 'Ebay' section, and wondered how long it would take and how easy it was to fit it? Don't worry, i have looked at the article about it in the Article section, but i just wanted to know how easy it was to do??

also what sort of power gains if any could i expect?

appreciate any advice :D

Think I'd want some specific questions answered like exactly how much power this head's supposed to give before buying something like that!

Ports look stock to my eyes ( bad admittedly 8) )

I'd be careful with this seller, they list multi fit turbo kits for Bmw's, yet cannot supply any evidence that the parts actually exist when pressed to.

Buyer beware

in any case, gains are minimal on the M20 885 casting from porting, the ports are a little large anyways, 3 angle seats are also standard fair for our bavarian chariots.

Taking the Pinto as a specific example: I believe people make the ports smaller so as to make more power!
