nice, thats actually exactly what I asked them for.  I tried to get them to make a m42 off the m50 one.  They only had to leave off two pipes.  I bought the m50 one and I cut off the last two.  I'm not sure If I'm going top or bottom mount right now though...

Thats needs to be fitted with a small T3/T4 and all the other crap that comes in the E36 M50 turbo kit, and be sold at the same price, I´d snatch it in a heart beat

Its about 360 usd, dunno how much CAN $'s that would be, but shipping shouldnt be more that 35~45 usd's. Kowalski you are planning turbo too?

its about 425 canadian dollars + shipping. so about 500 can dollars all said and done.

:) stroker turbo. the crank is in the mail along with pistons. my brother is fabbing me a mani as he is a ticketed welder. I can cut my own plates out on my brothers CNC mill, and do a custom intake... The turbo I'm still on the hunt for tho, and i'm looking for an M47 crank to replace my m44 crank. I'm also looking for a spare m42 around me for a resonable price...

cliff notes: yes i'm going turbo.
