hey guys hows it going ... long time lurker on these forums first time poster... i just finished reading danny's budget build up thread and am thinking of doing the same thing .... i come from the audi world (b5 s4 2.7tt) so im not new to turbos or tuning .... but my question is as follows. i would like to use the borg warner k03 turbo.... this turbo can flow about 240ish whp on a 1.8t vw engine and i have one on hand so i think that it will mate nicely to the 318is e30 1991 m42 engine. i also believe spool will be just as good or better than the 1.8t vw engine which has full boost at like 2100 rpm and i think 8psi will keep the turbo safe and .... "reliable" anyways does anyone know of any other options i could look at? keep in mind i already have the borg warner turbo from the swap i did on my b5 s4 so that is free vs buying another one.

cheers
