Hey i was just wondering if anyone has ever turbo'd a e36 318i or something similar? if anyone has any info i would be super happy if they could share. I need as much help as i can get thanks everyone

I've heard of supercharging a 318, it would cost less to just buy a 6cyl. It would probably cost you less to swap an S52 and you would have more power capabilities.

After a quick google search:

ya that would be nice but i think i still want to do the turbo set up, i have a turbo, blow off valve, and intercooler so all i really need is pluming and to figuer out stuff like fuel and timing so i have a quarter of the battle already beaten

Don't forget tunning, installing a turbo is not as easy as it seems to be. Be well informed before starting this kind of project.
