they were than they made it like it is now to save the cost. im hoping i can flip it over to do a top mount and do some tinkering. im not a total noob i had a 1st gen talon awd with a 4g63 big 16g man,turbo and astro dump but it got totaled out street racing. im just stumped on the whole tuning. a burnt chip is aroung $600 and i want to try out megasquirt. i know the basics how to hook everything up what stuff does new to the external WG though. i need to figure out injecters,tuning for the ignition/fuel. i have all i need but dont want to put it in until i figure out this stuff

there's a couple others with turbo bimmers on here, i havent found much as far as cheap tuning software for them though. i've been lookin into a e36 m3 for a while, just not sure about megasquirt .

Get in touch with Urinemachine. He has the cleanest boosted BMW in the universe. Ichbinsobose has a boosted bimmer as well, but he's also a dirty russian who'd rather be molestin' young girls than helping out some noob.

that manifold looks like a PAIN IN THE *** to unbolt where talking here 24 of them.. hopefully they are easy to get to..

ya dude just cut into the mani and route a pipe to a good place and mount your WG there and then make a dump tube external or back into the exhaust.. 944's have a external gate under the car..

You could attach the actuator to the frame somewhere and extend the bolt going to the turbo like this.
