I would recommend a supercharger, its far easier to setup, more reliable and having seen one of A-techs Rotax kits in action i wouldnt even consider a turbo unless it was for drag racing.

On the low comp engines like yours you'll get 270hp with a kit that will take only a few hours to install and because of the progressive boost characteristics you wont have to mess about with mapping for days.

Does anyone do off the shelf Eaton M45 (as used in Mini S) brackets for a E30 325i? I have a SC at home.

So on a 325 its not a massive job to bolt a charger on?

I see kit has been mentioned, anyone got a link to one?

Look for posts by ANT - his contact details are in his sig. PMs are a waste of time, he's too busy to check them these days.

Chargers tend to be universal, so any good machine shop should be able to fabricate a bracket as long as you have dimentions or ask a specialist to make you one.

My advice is if you've got it, use it.
