Currently have an m52 supercharged with dinan powerdyne bd11a supercharger setup. .
Thinking of re kindling an old idea I had years ago of m50 turbo because I'm looking for a bit more power than the supercharger setup will give me.
Looking for 400 no more
So to sell the supercharger setup and go with m50 turbo
Can anyone direct me to a thread or give me a parts list. Any links.. prices ect
I would appreciate it
M50 non vans turbo info please

I have had someone give me a list of consumables on the Facebook page so it's a start I can look into.
The supercharger setup is great. It really does pull when it's on point. It's just that realistically I want 400. Well switchable maps so 330 for everyday and 400 for stupid mode. . The supercharger won't give that much
Although it's mega.
I have a potential buyer for the supercharger setup at 1500 but I haven't pulled it apart yet and I won't be until I get an m sport e39 and the e28 then goes under the knife...

Hello e30-dk
an m50 turbo thread for you, I haven't read it all, his goal at the start was 375hp at around 12 psi boost, it's a long thread, but parts/build and all.

take the time to read the book in the link below by Corkey Bell, its a few years old, but the science is still the same, it will help you to plan to get to your 400hp and solve the problems along the way. you should do all the planning before you spend a $, this book has all the math's to get you there, happy turboing, cheers.

Thank you I will have a read though that and get familiar with it.
I think 400 in an e30 is plenty.
To me there's a point past which an e30 can have to much power and be stupid to drive so 400 seams like a nice figure to me

Hello e30-dk
youtube link for you on an e30 m20b25 400hp turbo, this guy tried 3 turbo's in his build and finally settled on the one that gave him the widest torque band, he gives the model numbers in the video, he is running 19psi boost, it's a write up/test drive and a well sorted car, well worth a look, cheers.
