Jus curious if any one has actually strapped a turbo onto a 325i auto, and wanted to know if its worth doing. Is it similar to a manual in power etc etc.........
And whats a rough price for the conversion as im interested??????

tylerma has a turbo auto M40 cab, goes V nicely thank you :lol:

downside of turbo-auto is the load the engine sees is varied by the action of the torque convertor, so its marginally less responsive than a manual, thats easy solved though, forget D, use 1,2,3 :twisted:

cost vary according to the power you expect to gain dude, put a target BHP figure on the conversion maybe ?
