I know there's a 9 sec e30 with an m52 also, I can't seem to find it though. Can't go wrong for the money, the motor costs a fraction of what you'll pay for an s5x.
I'm still debating, this is a single VANOS engine and it's on the fence about MS working with it or not. I'm looking at the eMS-Pro but TRM's chipped ECU is basically plug and play for a little less and includes tuning. Right now I'm just going to run a Bosch 413 DME until I put the turbo on.

I think you're talking about Donovon Marvin aka BMWSOB. He's one of the few online that have videos of an M52 turbo in an e30. The M52 has a lot more meat between the cylinders so it's far stronger and safer for boost. M50/M52 & S50/S52 are all the same block casting anyways, the motorsport engines are just a bored out version.
