Set yourself a lower power target, e30leigh is correct on not jumping the gun and aiming for big power. Imagine how fun your car would be with just an extra 100hp. These cars are light and the suspension is designed for handling, not hooking up with big power.
Most e30 guys start pushing 400hp after years of owning the car, gaining experience driving their cars in boosted form. They usually end up improving the setup in stages when they're bored of 250whp, 300whp, 350whp.
Say you wanna make 280whp-300whp, your just gonna need:
-arp head studs
-stronger clutch
-injectors/tuning/wideband (pm whodwho)
-3" exhaust system
And obviously all the other bits attached to turbocharging a car e.g turbo, manifold, intercooler/piping, bov etc.
Some things I should mention, obey Otis' words about stock fuel pump handling 400hp, he has probably one of the most powerful e30's out there, nobody here has his sort of experience he knows what breaks and what lasts.
Also o-ringing the block is only needed when your pushing 400whp+. If your blowing head gaskets with less power than that then there is something wrong with your tuning not your head gasket. Just replace your head gasket when you do your studs and you shouldn't have a problem. As long as you don't buy the victor reinz brand gasket and your tune is good.
Revshift are probably the only guys that make a good quality turbo manifold for the m20 these days. Sadly there is a long waiting time for those at the moment so this gives you some googling time to learn what a catch can does, what parts to buy, a general understanding which parts go where, how they work and how to maintain them. Don't be tempted into buying ebay junk only their intercoolers are satisfactory.
Thats a little info to get you started on planning your setup, keep reseaching and I'm sure within a few months you will feel comfortable in tackling this project.
Good Luck :up:
