I've been debating for a while to either swap in an H22a4 or a t3 super 60. I just can't decide on which route to go. Can anyone give me some words of advice or push me one way or the other? I have a stock z6 with 80k miles on it. I have plenty of experience with swapping motors, but not much in the area of turbos. What do you all think?

Personally, I would say to swap in the h22, nowadays its a fairly simple swap, you get to keep stock reliability, and its still one of the fastest honda swaps stock for stock. Price isnt to much of an issue, although parts for a swap can add up, but the h22 swap, if you have patience, you can gather the parts and do the swap for less than $2000. Im not dissing any of the turbo d guys, i just believe that if you want to keep that honda reliability, swapping in a faster stock engine is the best route to go, turbos take much more time and patience, and then stock reliability is threatened if ANYTHING isnt done right.
