The correct solution to this problem is reinforce plates.I have imported them from the USA and have them for sale. PM me if you interested.will post pics of the kit when my car is done. It's the best thing to do as the E36 and E46 have this sickness.:thumbs:

go for SC keep your throttle response...

Good idea ,you worry about turbo lag .A mod is developed with twin turbo to prevent that and the boost comes in very very early so it has instant response.

 

[moranor@axis]

dont be fooled there is no way to get rid of lag the only thing you can do is make is as small as possible, but it will always be there... its just the way a turbo works...

it doesnt matter what route you choose M3M5POWER, hell even if yu leave the engine as is.the amount of effort yu are putting into the detail of this car is mad enough to be appreciated turbo or not.this is really a superb build.All the best!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::bravo::bravo::bravo:

M3M5, if they do recommend using a sandblast process... dont

The sand actually heats up the metal and distorts panels, but if they are going to media blast
