I heard somewhere, i think here or the E15 list, that the A series gearbox
bellhousing lines up with the E15 only a couple of holes need elongating to fit.
I figure its worth a try to see what can be done as i have the parts lying around..
By Pssshh you are talking BOV? You could still run a BOV in suck thru only it would
HAVE to be recirculating, so yeh, no Pssshh, but its an tight budget conversion so
no $$$ trust or turbosmart or whatever BOV anyway..
