From what i have researched there are not really any cheap options. Maybe engine swap for 6cyl ?

for the mean time your best bet is probably give the engine a full service so its running nice and healthy, hydro, strip it and drift it with 15/16" wheels and low profile tyres.
Works for me on my m44 e36.

Will do, I hope to make a mock up adaptor plate out of wood by the end of next week.

So what if i had a chamfer put on the adaptor plates to make the ports go from from oval to round ?

Would this affect the exhaust gas flow majorly ?

Does anybody know how different the m43 manifold / head is to the m44, in terms of the location of the exhaust ports and volume of air able to flow the manifolds ?

I managed to aquire a turbo with a m43 manifold and this "rare" adaptor flange thing. However i have an m44, Instead of making a new turbo manifold i would ideally like to make an adapter flange to use the m43 manifold on my m44, Not sure how well it would all line up though. Dont Exactly see the m43 manifold being too restrictive for the m44 either as the m43 is a 1.8 and m44 1.9, so there should not be any major differences.

hopefully.
