I have a NON vanos m50b25 sitting nicely in my e30 and I decided to go with a turbo. My question is, What are my tuning options? What management do it use? To my understanding, the MAF wont hold out very much. I want this to be a budget build and keeping everything stock besides a MLS gasket and ARP studs. My goals are to get to 350-400whp. Are there any stock dme tunes out there for non vanos? Please help Ive done countless amounts of searches and cant find a good answer for my question. THANKS!

Couple options for NV turbo that I've found...
Standalone: For your goals, something like VEMS or Megasquirt will be more than enough and are roughly under $1k.
Convert to Vanos parts: Would need TU harmonic balancer, cams, Crank/Cam sensors, MAF, 413 ECU, +couple other things I can't remember. Then you would be able to order the Miller Tune setup or RK tunes.
In my opinion, I would just go VEMS or Megasquirt. Cheaper overall but you could learn a lot more this way if you tune it and you have a lot of cool functions with standalone. This is the route I will be taking. Hint: maybe order your standalone setup first and tune it N/A. That way you won't be trying to figure out tuning while you have a lot of troubleshooting with all the new turbo parts you've just installed at the same time.'90 325is Schwarz
