EuroBoy 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Are you saying you wanna do a cheap turbo set up? would you really wanna risk it? so much to go wrong. correct me if thats not what you mean. my two cents - do it proper or not at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 I'd get rid of that auto before you did anything else. have you read this... click me Just search, its been covered heaps. Google is your friend, have a look on e30tech.com also. As sic has said... cheap, fast, reliable. Pick 2. Mine will get a major power upgrade (even if its in 3 years when i finish uni) but until then I'm just keeping it in good nick and slowly sorting suspension brakes etc, oh, and also learning to drive.

318i Turbo 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 not worth it mate, for the same $$ you can put in a m20 and get the same power, then if i still want to turbo do it on that and have even more power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
