    I have $2500, and a 325E, Turbo?

    I only have $2000-$3000, is it possible to get a turbo on it for that much?

    Please help a newb figure out what I would need. Obviously a good, reliable set up is what I have in mind. What all do I need to have the eta engine ready for a turbo? Thanks in advance.

    you dont need to buy a kit, you could source all your own parts.

        Searching told me that I need a 325I head, I forgot to mention that. Which I've been looking for. I didn't include that cost into the budget.

            Is it better bang for the buck to swap to a different motor, say the S52? I found one for 2k. I know I need to search more on my own, I'm just hoping to get ideas from members on where I should search.

              my car is faster than my friends s52 swapped e30 , and I am running low boost and stock management for right now , so, better bang for buck is definatly a nice turbo setup . just my 2 cents.
