It's going to either be that or the Turbo kit from Turbocharging Dynamics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ultimate E34 engine from the late model Euro M5 only. This engine makes 347Hp and 295 ft-lb of torque from the factory with stock reliability and is easily upgradable with Schrick cams and a chip to almost 400Hp! Complete with Euro headers, 6 throttle body intake, oil cooler, and all electronics, 70k miles, compression tested before removal. 6 speed transmission available separately.
All of our Euro engines come from left-hand drive cars so you don't have to spend $1,000+ on a RHD engine harness and related parts.

So what do you think?

It seems to be good for impressive torque numbers. The concerns of the turbo would be:
-eventual blow-by
-not ideal for track days
-torque induced driveline destruction

Some of the comparative benefits with the turbo include:
-cheaper up front costs for the intercooled, tested kit
-Todd & Sweeney are an email or phone call away
-m5 parts prices suck, when ya can get 'em

Either one of those motors are hella stronger than what I got.

My worry is whether or not the high compression in the 3.5 will cause significant pinging with the turbo, as well as, whether or not there is any lag..
