e36 pwm idle?

Post by turboe36 »

hey guy's in the process of building my ms3 v3.57 board for install on my e36 wondering if any bmw guys here have knowledge on some of the output side of the board, im like 99% sure that e36 uses a bosh pwm idle valve but thought i should ask before just installing it that way.

also curious if anyone think's its worthwhile to install the highcurrent ignition driver, i plan on running all my ignition through the xpander card, but was thinking it might be useful to have this highcurrent driver installed to possibly switch on something else,

thanks for any and all advice, this has been a super huge learning process for me, cant wait till it's done and wired in the car!
