t3/t4 on an I6?
A friend of a friend from NC has a 1998 BMW M3 and he just got the stock I6 engine turboed. I heard he slapped a t3/t4 (in/exducer and A/R specs unknown) on the car and I have never heard about the performance of that setup on anything else but a 4 cylinder. I saw some pics and it had a polished log manifold. The fabbing was terrible. He also had a decent sized B/P FMIC on the front fitting perfectly into the front mouth of the bumper cover. That's the only thing that looked ligit.
He has a 3" exhaust on the way for it.
How should this thing do?

So many variables. But I'll go with mid 12s. You can only fit an 245 tire on the rear of the E36s without rolling fenders and getting weird offsets, that's what kills them.
