I know I'm right....
Not your average straight six......No headers allowed!
"only six bolts and a bracket and the whole turbo just comes off"
(not counting the entire front of the car which needs to be removed)
and can you believe that mechanical fuel pump?
it runs off a lobe on the camshaft...what will they think of next?
There are a bunch of engines with high pressure pumps that run off of the cam. Chevy does it in the LT V8 engines. Ford does it on the 5.0 V8 and ecoboost engines. It's pretty reliable and not terribly expensive to replace.
.
Ill take that over a Toyota gear any day...at least I wont feel bad getting overcharged for BlauMittWeiss partsBMW powerplant and running gear...
And the difficultyWow pretty impressive engine. Nice shop. Not much has changed in Hot Rodding in 50 - 55 years. Buy a new car pull it a part make it faster. Except the price.
