Not an M20 but something else for you to consider if you want to add a couple of HP

Wow! where is his radiator? did he move it to the trunk? I am seriously considering putting the radiator in the trunk, and now I really think I need to, my intercooler looks to be the identical size that this one is....That must be a blast to drive!

The crazy turbo projects always seem to come from Sweden.. I've seen M30 turbo's bigger than my own head, M20 twin turbo's, and about any S engine ever made that had been turbocharged.

There are pics and vids out there from an M5 (E34) that puts out like 1200hp or so.

Crazy stuff.. Sure you don't want a turbo, Pete?

What is back where the AC intake is supposed to be? There are three red things back there. What are they?

Yes those winters must be long out there in Sweden. I guess they have to go as fast as possible as the window for ideal road conditions is short.
Did you mean "the bomb" or "a bomb" ? That poor block.
I've seen the vid of that turbo M5. Sick.
There is HP and usable HP. Spinning the tires at 100 is not my idea of usable HP. Looks like fun though!! and it cetainly is beautiful to look at. Artistry.
