    M50 Turbo Piston Question

    I plan on boosting my engine in two stages. First I'll be rebuilding the engine then boosting. My question is if I build the engine this summer with turbo piston will the engine be ok to drive on until I add boost?

      No, It will blow up cause turbo pistons only work on turbo motors.

      lol seriously?

          Wow...it would be fine to drive your engine with "turbo pistons" as long as the engine is tuned for it. And on a side note, i have a built m50 bottom end for sale with wiseco 9:1 pistons and bunch of other stuff. Heres your chance to save money and time on buying parts and etc. Pm me for more details if interested.

          When people ask you what car you drive and you say a BMW and they get all excited until they see it...
          my build thread. M50 swap, shaved bay, and wire tuck. http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87351
