on what?

They are individual throttle bodies because theyre built separately, but putting the "plenum" on it defeats the purpose IMO, since its then a intake manifold with individual butterflies. It's still limited by whats in that plenum, opposed to the atmosphere.

There are no turbo E46 M3s other than the HPF prototype car which is still mostly a mystery. That's one, hardly with ease.

go to m3forum.net, I'm not talking about factory turbocharging, i said "people turbo them with ease", as in aftermarket..

There are no E46 M3 turbo kits out besides the prototype HPF kit. There is a lot of talk but no kits.

Cactice

Maybe not but there are quite a few E30 M3's with E34/E39 M5 Engines (which are ITBs) running massive single turbos making 700whp+
Also the Euro E36 M3's came with ITBs stock, which is why they make more power than the US cars - among other things -. Here is one.

M3s are not easy to turbo...it takes a LOT of work and its expensive. sure, there are people who custom fabricate it...but you do not see turbo kits being sold by major companies.

as for ITBs on evos...go do it and be the first

ITBs take a lot of work to do also. and i dont think they're used on rally cars...hm, evos happen to be a rally cars. go figure?

Cactice

That's probably because there really is no market to turbo a BMW, which is the exact same reason why aftermarket BMW parts are so much more expensive than other cars. You guys wouldn't believe the prices they pay for something like a catback or a set of cams.

I know that, but nobody was talking about those. Someone said the E46 M3 was being turbocharged "with ease" and I called BS. I traded my E46 M3 on an Evo because I wanted a turbo car and there were no options for the M3.

The E36 M3 has a lot of turbo options available, nobody is disputing that.

DSM ITB FTW!

Cactice

I didn't really mean to direct that to you as to try and prove you wrong or anything; it was more an offering of ITB turbo'd cars

i know there's no kit on the market even if there was, it would be more difficult to install than on evos or any other car.

and i do know how much they pay for aftermarket products...i own a bmw also.

bmw now has the 335i...which im assuming will lead to aftermarket turbos for them.
