M50 non vanos rods and stock pistons will work for that. ARP head bolts is a good idea as well.E30 325ix M50 turbo 7 spd DCT 4wd 840awhp @ 31 psi.

300 RW is well over 2x stock- that'll take quite a lot of boost...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george gravesComment

stock rods, stock crank, lower cr pistons. put the rest of the money in the head, ms, and turbo. 300hp is reachable.Comment

With M50 non vanos rods you will get lower cr, they are 5mm shorter than stock :)

MS was in my plans as well as lower cr pistons and mls head gasket. Put the money into the head as in port and polish? I've read also that some ppl use the vw rockers and upgraded springs...thoughts? Valve suggestions? Looking into cat cams as wellComment

You dont need to touch the head for 300whp. Stock head gasket and ARP is enogh.E30 325ix M50 turbo 7 spd DCT 4wd 840awhp @ 31 psi.
