looking for single turbo daily driver. looking for a kit for e36, like to see what everyone else has done before i make any decisions. hoping to see someone else with a good idea and see what i can do.

The sticky at the top of this forum is your friend. Before you can make a decision, though, that guy is right, you need to know your goals and go from there.

My opinion ain't going to help you much, because my idea of a daily driver is QUITE far from yours, I can be sure. But, since you asked, mine would have a massaged GT35RS on a 3.2 stock bore, forged low comp pistons, Cometic MLS gasket, cams, 4 inch exhaust turbo-back, no cats or mufflers, gutted to a tin can with full cage, halon, stoptech, oh, and a 75 shot just in case I feel frisky. Your getting the idea.

[edit]: Kinda makes you wonder what I drive on the track.....hmmmmmm.

How much boost does the shot of 75 give? And it is actually like you see in the movies, head to the seat?

Doesn't give you any more boost, because your already at your max boost setting.

It makes a difference (feels like a 150 shot on an NA motor), but it's not like the movies at all. It's not a "hit" of power, just comes on during WOT. I'm sure it wouldn't be any different on a BMW.

Sorry, I didn't mean to use boost in that sense, i meant like a rush of power where the tires lose grip for a spin and then u see your rpms and speed jump.
