          Fucking with you. I run an HX35. Compressor maps are similar to a GT35R ironically. but its like 1/5 the price. I mean its def not as good as a GT35R but damn close for a $200 turbo.

                      I bought this manifold thinking it was going to be a header for my car... :) I kidd I kidd

                      I don't know what size turbo I'm going to put on my car. I really just thought once I started buying turbo parts, I would HAVE to do it. I want to pull the motor out of the car and get the car painted anyways, so this will keep my hands full.
                      I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

                        The 60-1 is not that great for an M50/S50 engine, unless you want to run no more than around 8psi.

                          Why may i ask you can only run 8 pounds of boost from a 60-1 on a m50/s50?(sorry i am still learning)

                            Because I had one on my M20.

                            Looking at the Compressor map, it does not fit the 24v motors too well. Its PERFECT for the M20 up till around 420hp.

                            The GT35 compressor has a much wider map, and fits the M50 much better. An alternative is the 62-1 but still, the GT is better.

                              Well that sucks...I guess my turbonetcs 62-1 is not going to work well above 8 psi neither because it is not a gt35...Oh well... Live and learn i guess.

                                Then why does TT use that as their stage one turbo, I have seen plenty of dyno sheets on bimmerforums and that was suggested to me along with the gt35r
