Nothing wrong with turboing a 316i you will maybe see 90mph on a windy day Oj
Dont you need more than a turbo n manifold tho?

Yer mate you need intercooler turbo timer and a whole leap of othershit.
I was thinking of supercharging mine in the future mate get the car looking its best get all the sounds and stuff to your liking learn to drift then worry about power coz if you can drift a 316i with eas you can drift anything

iv got a intercooler some pipe work i have the oil feed and drain you dont need a turbo timer and can use standed management if you use a 5th injector and run low boost its when you want big power you need lots of £££ i turboed a axgti last year and its still going strong. i think i can do it :)

I like your style Matt lol, even if it is a bit simplistic :D .


I don't know anything about turbos. I do look forward to seeing what ever you come up with.
