      that's because they're too cheap to shell out for turbo pistons and proper EMS :p

      check e30tech for turbo info - you should be able to do it with the stock rods and crank, but you will need custom pistons with a lower CR - something like JE 85mm 8.5:1 would work :)

        it's funny when people buy a turbo before they buy anything else.
