Looks like you have most of the turbo kit. I'd suggest converting it to EFI and doing the turbo on the stock motor. They are fairly stout and decent CR as-is. My cousins 2002 with a M10 turbo but down 225whp

Also Megasquirt ms2 v3.57. But with all the money I put into this engine already I'm not using factory anything besides block, crank and head casting. (Little over $2k into the head in 2015, Port n polish, 3 angle valve cut, bigger valves, mild cam(recently bought adjustable cam gear), 4-1 Long tube headers to 2.5" collector) Plus what I'm doing to the bottom end(first set of pictures) lighter forged pistons an rods, full rotational assembly balancing. I'm looking to get 150hp~ not boosted and I want 300hp boosted. 225hp isn't bad for just slapping a turbo on a factory engine that only made 100 hp from the start, but I want to do it once an do it right lol an make over 300hp or at least 300. An I know o could of just got a m20 an spent less but F that. Everyone does that. I wanted to do something to it that not allot of people do. I love the M10 I hate that people throw them aside so I am keeping them on the road. Lol I'm also changing the trunk badge to the M logo but have 10 after it so it'll say "M10" with only the hood an trunk bmw logos!!

It came factory E.F.I but I did upgrade everything fuel related too, (except lift pump in tank I see no reason to do anything to that one) just didn't want to flood with pictures lol. New high volume in-line pump, brand new rail, new fuel injectors, new hoses, new aftermarket pressure regulator. I'll add photos since you brought it up lol

Mine as it sits. M10 with $2k worth of head work done (was bored n tried to spray the cover white years ago n it's falling off) but soon to be full internal build and boosted

On an unrelated note, when I go to open page one of this thread, either by clicking the pg. 1 button, or manual entry I get this:

Same prompt for me. Had to open the thread in another browser, skip to the last page, and paste the URL into my main browser.

To keep us on topic:

Circa 2020 when the M52B28 was N/A



As it sits in 2022 after a full paintjob (waiting on parts to get the engine ready for install).
The M52B28 is going back in with a big turbo and ZF320 trans strapped on.

All my parts waiting to be put in
