they're not, but the manifold gets removed when you add a supercharger anyway, the E30 M42 used a different manifold and the DASC still fits | | | | | 04-28-2009, 04:52 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

people aren't willing to spend all that money on a car that's only worth ~5k, so they try to do it on a budget and it just never works | | | | | 04-28-2009, 04:55 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: TAMARAC, Florida Posts: 191 |

Downing Atlanta had a good one that's been discontinued, there's one other company who's name I forget but it's been ordered by another member before and it was a piece of crap so he returned it | | | | | 04-28-2009, 04:58 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: TAMARAC, Florida Posts: 191 |

I began looking into turbo-ing my M50, and came to realize I'd drop as much as I have into the whole car into the turbo project. Just go read on BF.C. You can get all the turbo parts themselves for <1k by mixing new and used, but the tuning aspect jumps up to a couple grand, + injectors, head gasket, studs, etc. It adds up WAY too fast unless your best friend will tune it for you for free, and it's still a $2k+ build out the door, doing all the work yourself. Installing the turbo itself is not difficult. Making it not implode and run right isn't __________________
