    piecing together an m20 turbo kit, couple questions

    Hello and thank you for checking out/assisting.

    Just in the midst of piecing together an E30 turbo kit and have a couple questions, if you (the pro's), don't mind assisting with info/opinions/general banter, it would be most appreciated! I'll list what I have, what I think I need, issues sourcing parts... Feel free to steer me in a better direction if needed.

    Thank you again, much appreciated.

    Have:
    Garrett GT28 turbo (Yes it's small, but T3/T4 flange so can always switch out later with many options)
    Manifold
    38 mm wastegate
    Mustang injectors
    3" downpipe
    2.5" catless exhaust - 1 muffler, 1 resonator (keeping it too to keep costs down as opposed to going 3" all the way)
    ARP Head Studs
    ARP assembly lube
    Innovate wideband sensor for tuning
    Oil catch can
    BOV
    Defi boost gauge

    I got all the above for $500 Canadian so like $350 US.. It's used but low mileage and all in real good shape

    Also bought for maintenance since doing head studs - new head gasket kit, timing belt and metal impeller water pump as I don't know when any of those things have been done.

    Need:
    Intercooler and piping (Probably an ebay kit $200 ish Canadian)
    Oil feed line (Not sure where or what to get for that - saw some on ebay)
    Water feed line - same as above, don't know where/what to get for that.. and yes the turbo is water/oil cooled.
    3 bolt to v pipe downpipe flange (Only found it one place online and it's like $75 so if anyone can help, awesome)
    Oil pressure gauge
    AFM Gauge
    Megasquirt Standalone PNP $1100 Canadian

    Also a question regarding the coolant reservoir and washer tank... Can try and source an IX washer tank, coolant reservoir any pointers? I have an 87 pre facelift 325is so it's the oval shaped coolant reservoir.

    I'll need misc gaskets and such I'm aware of, anything else you guys can think of? Aiming for mid to high 200's for whp with that turbo, maybe a bit more if lucky, think that's achievable with this setup?

    You pretty much got the perfect size turbo for the power you're looking for, it'll spool quickly and pull efficiently to redline.

    The Garrett website has all the information you'll need for turbos, including how to read the compressor maps. They even have a turbo calculator that'll recommend the turbos for the power and other factors you want/have.
