keep the m20 if you don't mind yearly maintenance, engine noise and 12V,,, and put the S52 if you want quiet worry free 200+hp reliability( may take some extra time but you willllll not regret it)Last edited by kenika65; 06-07-2008, 12:55 PM.

If you want the most out of FI definitely go s52.
Only other option is the stroke the m20 then turbo it.Check out Undr8d Empire on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Undr8dEmpireLlc

My last m20 motor had 286K before i sold the car and was 100% reliable and worry free.Originally posted by kenika65 View Post
To answer the question at hand. I would rebuild the m20 and buy a stage 2 turbo kit from TCD for 5 grand. Its a boxy, rough on the edges old bimmer... a noisy turbo m20 will be perfect.
