I'm not being rude there's about a hundred dif people on this board posting threads saying what turbo kit i should use...really in my opinion is if you dont have great, great knowledge of boosting a car i would first start small & just concentrate on building your engine first with like exhuast, intake manifold, cams, pulley, etc...smaller stuff now im not exactly sure what you have done but maybe if you list me what you have done i'll do my best to help you out...But if you're ready & serious about boosting your engine i wouldnt' go no bigger than like stage 2 turbo kit & no bigger than like stage 3 turbo manifold due to you never know how good your engine can hold up on stock block & depending on what turbo kit/tuning you do....Tuning is a huge factor now when it comes to boosting any engine doesnt matter what kind of car it is because if your engine runs to rich boom, if your engine runs to lean boom so takes a lot of research & time spent on messageboards with professionals that can give you great ideas & tips on how to really do your setup...Check up on bimmerforums.com & join there & join on FORCE INDUCTION section there because people on there are very well educated.
