Turbo Knowledge

[stockxplorer]

Hey guys and gals, Ive been a member here for a while but never really log on, but I will be logging on more. Basically I own a 86 325e that I purchased over a year ago but its been sitting in the garage for over 6 months now after a small fender bender, but ive put it back together. But I would like to know if theres a thread or some links anyone can point me to about how a turbo set up works. I would like the turbo the 325e in the future but want to know what im getting into. Such things like compression, turbo manifolds and all of the other car turbo jargon that is used. I am no mechanic but have general knowledge about cars and would like to learn some more about turbos. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
