Yea, those open from the windshield towards the front. They have a neat pivoting system on the front.

Re: turbo sizing...for a 2liter BMW engine
I had a IHI Rhb5w .42/.48 on my m10 (1.8 liter same difference) for a little while. It spools up really quick which is a plus but no ***** up top. Its good for 170 -180 hp. I have gone a little nutty and since decided to go with a .60/.63. We will see how that goes, lol.

If that engine is the same as the 2002 turbo engines then it can take a beating.
They only made about 1670 ish of the turbo models back then. I think They used the engine in F1 also..when they ran with turbo's.
I would go with a t3 if that is your goal, but as I always say...you will want more after you get used to it.
Get your wallet ready

Yes it will be a sleeper. It will look just as it does in that picture...well a little lower than that now.
When you had the .42/.48 at what RPM were you at full boost? When did it level off?
I think the .60/.48 would fit what I want to do best.
What are the specs on the saab 900 turbo?
I don't want to run huge boost becasue I would rather have things more balanced and not cause to much stress on the rest of the car.
