    Help Me Find A Small Turbo!

    I'm new to this whole turbo thing, but I have a bonus turbo exhaust manifold that is designed for an external waste gate for me e30 89 325i. I really want a quick spooling, low threshold, small turbo that is still externally waste gated. Like +50-75 horsepower. Nothing crazy.

    I have been told this probably doesn't exist, but does anyone have any ideas?

    Eventually I may turn this car into a 2.7 stroker (if that gives you any bonus thoughts).

      I'm not really familiar with the term "tractor" in regards to a turbo. Sounds cool though!

          If tractors have small externally waste gated turbos then yes. lol. I'm looking into that a bit more.

            100% correct, 100% useless

            Look into cheap ebay turbos, you can always delete internal wastegate too.

              Yeah, I saw a post about the internal wastegate delete. If I understand this correctly, as long as the internal wastegate is properly welded shut we should be able to use the external on the manifold just fine?

                    ebay has universal turbo setups even with intercooler just need a manifold like you have and a oil line for the turbo. For about $500
                    here is turbo kit for $600
