Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / How to get around 180HP?

Try this^
Adjust the cam timing - You know how on the E30 M3 you have to buy a $300 kit with adjustable cam sprockets to tune your cam timing? Not on the 318iS! The M42 is equipped with tunable cam sprockets from the factory. So pull your Cosmoline covered valve cover off and with the proper tools you can tweak your intake and exhaust cams up to 6 degrees +/- to provide more top end horsepower or more low end torque. See, you don’t have to blow a grand on a set of Schrick cams to make your M42’s cams a little hotter. The best setup is to adjust the intake cam to 5 degrees (advanced) and leave the exhaust cam alone. I would recommend having a shop do this work.

Engine + Driveline / Torque Specs for m42 Thermostat Housing
« on: October 05, 2009, 06:09:10 PM »
I torqued mine down to spec and it still leaked so what i did is fill with fluid and as it was leaking i would slowly tighten the bolts till the leak stopped and just keep a close eye on it.
Dont over tighten it because the thermostat housing will break and or the threads will pull out of the head.

hummm will take a part and take pics hopefully fix!
Now how to fix and test..!
Found this... From here... http://opel-scan.ru/files/DME_1.1_1.3.pdf
ATS
The ATS is mounted in the AFS inlet tract and measures the air temperature before it enters the inlet manifold. Because the
density of air varies in inverse proportion to the temperature, the ATS signal allows more accurate assessment of the volume of
air entering the engine. However, the ATS has only a minor correcting effect on ECU output.
The open circuit supply to the sensor is at a 5.0 volt reference level and the earth path is through the AFS earth return circuit.
The ATS operates on the NTC principle. A variable voltage signal is returned to the ECU based upon the air temperature. This
signal is approximately 2.0 to 3.0 volts at an ambient temperature of 20° C and reduces to about 1.5 volt as the temperature rises
to around 40° C.
