How do you guys feel about s52 camshafts? Are gains for a turbo m52 worth the cost of the cams?

Gotcha.
Gotta a set on the way.
Anyone know of a good boost controller?
Also,
I think my diff currently is a 2.93, was thinking about going a little higher? 3.15 or 3.75
If your 2.93 is an LSD that's what you want. If not, get a 3.15 LSD. Never a 3.73 on turbo , unless your running a C4 trans or something.
Boost controllers there are lots of options. The forums like the Eboost2 and the AMS. There are loads of them. All depends on how many settings you want. If only 1 or 2 then maybe get the innovate one with the built-in wideband failsafe. If you want 3-6 settings, get the Eboost2. If you want real simple, get a grimspeed MBC.
Turbo smart also makes a dual port MBC. I ran one for a bit. Its a manual that gives you 2 settings with the flip of a switch.

pretty sure its an LSD. I had read that 2.93 was best for turbo builds but low end power is what I like most
But, 3.15 ideally?

Got the scavenge pump mounted up.
let me know what you guys think. I could find little to nothing online in regard to sp mounting locations.
Please disregard my crusty ps rack. I should have fixed those pesky ps lines long ago. Wish I would have taken this beast to carwash before starting all of this work

I was going through pictures of my old E36's and found these:

I'm pretty sure this is too good to be true. But I was comparing the bends to some custom down pipes Ive seen and they look similar:

Think its possible to cut after the mandrel bend somewhere and route/weld waste gate re-circulation and then run the exhaust to the back of the car?

I've noticed the same downpipe on ebay and I agree it looks to be the right shape. For the price it would still be worth it even it needed a few changes.
just keep in mind, it's cheap china steel... it will rust and it's thin.
Wait did you just find a downpipe for an e36 on NEWEGG? What the hell, I know where ill be going next time to buy turbo parts for the bmw. Haha.
ICV hosing - Got to thinking yesterday after looking at the ICV silicone hosing:
Instead of connecting one of the ends to the intake boot couldn't I just use the vacant hose end from the CCV and loop it? I don't see why this wouldn't work, not sure if there's much of difference between the air at the boot versus the manifold?
my ICV hose is completely torn, not sure how that happened. But It would be one less thing to order or find at the scrap yard.
