Heres the story, I have a '78 mod 5 series BMW (e12 528i) the thing weighs round about 1400 - 1500 kgs. Now I have a 1G thats going in it (b4 you say get a 1J, trust me I looked at doing that and it is just too big, would fit if I cut firewall and stuff  witch I dont wanna have to do)
I what the thing to look good andgo just aswell.
my 1st question is turbos, ATM I'm thinking single GT30, but still like the twin idea, any thoughts?
2ndly I want to get a cam for it to makeit sound mean, any idea where to get one or who does them?
3rdly metal head gaskets can you get them easily? ifso where? do i really deed to worry want to run from bout 15 to 18 psi all day.
and lastly I have heard about the HKS stroker kit (2g gte 2.4L) are they worth it? can you get other kits? or whats in them? can the samething be done with a custom kit.
any Info will be great
cheers

1: Go for something like a GT2540 have been proven on similar engines like the RB20 to make boost very early and pull all the way to the redline with around 250rwkw
2: HKS make cams for the 1GGTE but they are hard to come by second hand and very expensive brand new
3: Call ridgecrest, they do metal headgaskets gaskets in any thickness for about $140 
as for the 2GGTE stroker kit, well they fall into the same category as the cams...very hard to come by second hand and cost a mint brand new.
hope this helps
