    Turbo build information

    At this point i am seriously thinking about doing a (relatively cheap) turbo build on my 1991 318is. The build won't start happening for a year or two, but since i know nothing about engine management and tuning (which i hear is the most important part of a turbo build) i am going to compile good sources of knowledge and teach myself.

    So here is my question: does anyone know of any good resources online that would give good information on how to build and tune a turbo on an E30 (any engine), such as DIY's, product information, specs, or links to any really good turbo build threads.

    And also if there is there any good sites that sell the parts i need for this turbo build up.

    I will list the resources i have found already in my search.

    Information on how turbos work:


    Really handy silicone piping:
    Your source for Intercooler Pipe Fabrication Parts


    (really expensive) exhaust manifolds:


    A ricer-looking store that sells a lot of good stuff:


    A promising turbo build thread:


    Megasquirt engine management:

    r3v is more 24v guys. e30tech has a whole forum dedicated to turbocharging, and the stickies at the top of the sub-forums are very informative.
