the throttle body will give the car a lot moor ooomph, making it quicker and smoother.

Put my name on it Jason, you were so right last time I'll go for it.

It will have to wait until I can drive again though, probably be about another week.

Best Wishes

Nigel

You have a manifold up for grabs or just 'you have a manifold'.

If the former does said item have the throttle body included ....

I need to see some piccy's or something from a fellow 5er driver who has done this conversion.

Looking at the ETK / TIS there is a lot more to this than a simple manifold retrofit .... the brackets and supports etc are all different, my throttle body looks infinitely more complex (Cruise control and all other gubbings).

I want to do this but don't go in for 'bodge it and see' jobs. this job must be plug and play in so far as I must have every bit required to complete the changeover in an afternoon.

so - hands up please any E39 5 drivers who have done this ..

The M50 Manifold >>>

The M52 Manifold >>>

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in this thread already...

How much for this chip ? where are you located ? how long to fit etc ? any other details would be great thanks ( ie is it setup on a rolling road etc ? )

Also wanting a nice sounding exhaust without it sounding like some boy racers car - any recommendations people ? Power Gains would be nice but not essential.

Sorry for hijacking your thread

Cheers

Mark.

I know your stuff doesnt cost a fortune anyway Jason, but is there any chance of a publicly quoted discount for BMWCC members, upon production of a membership card ?

( This might help keep the heat off me slightly etc )

Hi Chipped UK

Do you do a chip for an E28 528i (86) or do you know anyone who does?
