What do you guys think is more effective for an N/A setup? I know there are a few different options for the H series,

ITB's
Skunk2 Manifold
Euro R manifold
Golden Eagle manifold
RBC RSX manifold w/an adapter

The skunk2 is pretty good for mid to high end, but it contacts my brake booster which is a pain in the ass to deal with

No, it was the throttle body. A screw from the throttle plate backed out.

ITB's probably would be the best for N/A, but they're so tempermental. You constantly have to retune them. I don't want to have to do that if I'm gonna be driving the car regularly, but then again i might be buying a DD soon.

ITB's sound sick as hell too lol.

Ok then euro-r im
Fits like a charm. Looks nice. Considerable gains

As far as tunning goes. You can learn how to tweek your ride as time goes.
ITBs are the best yet a weekend warrior car bot daily driven. Look into a beater. We put too much into our cars for daily wear and tear.

Euro R would probably be a good idea, esp if i went boost later on. I'm still interested to see what the RBC manifold on an H would do though, it looks interesting. I just looked at ITB prices, gotdamn! Like 1500 for an ITB setup!

As for a DD, you're right we do put too much into our cars to put daily wear and tear on em, but I'm building my car to enjoy driving it lol. I guess i can still do that, just not everyday haha.

Thanks lol. I don't have much to update currently, just that I'm planning to further my engine bay tucking and going AN fitting also. Still looking for wheels too, and to install suspension.

Oh and I no longer have to DD the CL, picked this up as a DD for a good price

Yeah its a great car, a handling dream. Good in a straight line, but much better in the turns.

If anyone wonders what he means by huge improvement, I originally bough this car damaged from hydroplaning and hitting a tree and fixed it to its current condition

welcome home chris. you're only missing the nice Florida weather, thats about it.

i think an all-black grille would set the front fascia off. my friend has one on his Avus Blue 328i.

florida has nice roads but, if you are slammed or even mildly dropped. it sucks for flooding.

No problem, but look at it this way, your car is still there and you can take as much time as you need to put everything back together like how it used to be Plus.... you get to daily an M3 in the meantime
