Looking for some advice. I have a vanos and a non vanos m50 currently and was wondering which would be better for a turbo setup. Both are high mileage, so I would rebuild which ever engine I went for and would be able to build the engine. Mainly just wondering is variable timing makes a difference with a turbo and also tuning options.
I would put the vanos unit on the non vanos motor. Move the NV intake cam to the exhaust and put a M54B30 intake cam in it. You end up with a cheap, stout motor that can rev reasonably well with a good powerband.
