This car is scary fast!!!!
Yeah, just the b35 in an e30 is definitely sufficient power/torque. Throwing a turbo on it is just insanity!

Yeah, I just can't seem to leave things alone. Power upgrades on an e30 require engine builds, standalone ECU, and/or a turbo. The n55 is so easy/cheap to upgrade, it just "makes sense" to go for it. Or at least, that's how I rationalize it.
