That doesn't seem like too good of a buy. I'm responding to your PM right now.

Your not the first to mention that.
I think I'm going to put the Holset H1C up for sale and take your advice in getting a different turbo.
What is the the going price for one of those turbos new and used?

They're a very sought after turbo. You can get a 7670 for ~$2K with a gamma-Ti turbine wheel externally gated in twin scroll. Used if/when they pop up they normally go for around $1200-1400.

EFR 7670:

If you're on a budget but still would like a more responsive/snappy setup than your standard 30r or 35r, I would recommend an S200SX FMW (AirWerks), which uses the compressor wheel from the 7670 but an Inconel turbine wheel instead of the Ti.

S200SX FMW:

Either one of these guys [in twin scroll configuration] is going to absolutely blow your standard 35r powerband and response out of the water without overspinning the hell out of a 20g up top to get that low end tq hit.

Looks awesome!

I'm not sure the turbo compliments the build quality elsewhere.

Ever consider an EFR? I think a 7670 in TS configuration would net you a beautiful powerband with transient response to die for.

Good luck!

I like the m3 vision you're sharing!

[freeride53]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo awesome.
Love me a proper homemade e30 m3 conversion.

[jburnsbmw]

Got the trunk in thanks to M3and2002!
Lots of welding, gluing, and praying ahead of me!

The quality is good but the fitment not so much.
I will get it to work, it just sits a little high.

Glad to hear its usable! It's unfortunate BMW won't make more of those panels.

How's the fitment and overall quality of that fiberglass c-pillar?

*Updates
-Picked up a stock OEM front bumper
-Received the rear bumper and C-pillar
-RH outer wheelhouse welded on.
Lots of test fitting
Just waiting on trunk lid so I can finally weld the quarters.






Sprayed the block. I'm happy with the color

I believe Levent at Guten Parts had an E30 M3 front bumper recently...
