    Pre-Turbo Maintance?

    I'm gonna start comtemplating on parts and what not to get for a turbo setup. I wanted to know what kind of work should i do the car before I start buying turbo setup parts? I know head gasket and injectors for one maybe. Just wondering what else Thanks Guys!! Much appreciated :up:

    PS,car is a 325e if that helps any

        then there you go! do some head work... poss. better springs/rockers, and increase flow. and some low. comp. too ie. thicker head gasket

              Awsome list! Thanks Ali and Thanks Matt:up:

              I've decided to replace the cams with new stock cams,replace the valve springs,timing belt,injectors. I will probably just have the engine rebuilt. I'm only shooting for 250-300HP,nothing too radical
