You will not be dissapointed. It takes alot of time, patience and quite a bit of money.

So I would be paying a fortune to the insurance company with all the mods I've done to my car. Holly cow...

Currently also rebuilding my M42 and installing Turbo + DBilas ITB (soon, it's one of the last steps)

In the nearby future I've planned a displacement increase to 2000cc using M3 rods/pistons, and out in some heavy duty valves and sport cams.

Are there any more Turbo-ed M42/M44 drivers here ? If so, please drop me a PM because I still have some questions related to turbocharging.

Cheers !

Oh and mine is defintely not streetlegal, but who cares
