I was looking into buying this turbo kit from ebay and chopping off the last two pipes on the collector and using it on my 318is and was just wondering if the exhaust ports would line up?

maybe this would help you..
in germany they sell turbo-manifolds especially for the 318is

The t3/t4 turbo on Ebay isnt a orginal Garrett, china turbo i guess.

The main thing I was wondering was if the exhaust ports were spaced the same as the m42 changing the flange at the end wouldn't be that big of a deal then I would have a nice equal length manifold with the turbo and all the other bits to go with it for about 1k plus a little bit for altering the manifold.

i don`t have a m20 topp but i have a m43 and a m40 the spacing is 3,596" and on the m42/M50 3,610"
