The fully rebuilt B23ET will be installed in my 1988 745GLE.
I am planning on changing all of the wirring from the computers to the
engine bay and the main multiplugs under the dash. The wirring will be
from a 1988 740 Turbo in order to insure decent wirring and the correct
multiplugs.

Turbo auxillary cooling circuit:
I'm planning an Audi-style cooling
circuit for the turbo. It will have a separate rad and electric coolant
pump. The pump will be controlled by a thermoswitch and the ignition so
that it will come on when the engine is running and will only shut off
once the coolant has cooled sufficiently.
