I'm going with a garret gt3582r. From what i have read this will be a beast on an s52 e30 w/zf.

Thanks bro for the input

Garrett also has a GT3576 that'll spool a bit quicker...

I'd be wary of any JB PTE turbo. They are prone to bearing failure. Stick to BB if going PTE.

OP, it totally depends on your power goals. What kind of power are you looking to make and whats the goal of the car? Street torque monster? Top end pull, high HP?

It really depends on what your looking to do with the car.

No offense, but thats totally untrue. I've sold tons of JB precision turbos. I know tons of people who run them daily. Precision is one of if not the best turbo manufacturer out there.

No offense taken, read for yourself.
