Hello,

just want to know if someone put a turbo on M50 engine. What turbo would be good for this engine. Sierra T3 any good or too small ? Also, how much power does gearbox hold. How much boost can i run with stock internals ?

M50 isn't an e30 standard engine, most people on here are happy enough just getting the M50 into the e30 in the 1st place, in saying that I don't think it's a common swap, as it is just as much work to put an s50 or s52 in instead. The M50 was fitted to the e34 and the e36 until it was superceeded by the M52. I would try on e36coupe.com or on one of the 5 series forums. People are more likely to turbo an engine already in their car.
