Probably millions of posts about this so saying sorry in advance. The search isn't working on the computers i'm using this week.
Are there any "bolt on" kits for super/turbo charging a 325i (pref one to work with high comp, if it makes a difference to setting up).
Either that, or is there a site that makes or has the required things for a turbo project? Thinking about doing it, but dont really have the knowledge to source everything needed from a random collection of parts.

Ant does them, not cheap though.
£3k for everything iirc except management and a few other bits and bobs needed.

I know this is expensive, but what would it then take to fit. Litterally just fitting it, or would you need to modify things, run lots of tests to check over things...
Are these relatively safe, and will this cause all sorts of issues. Not really knowledgable with turboing/supercharging...

Tis only 30 more for a manual! looked into it when i was getting insured
They're old cars, and the 320 is not very powerful so they aint too bad!
