Hi Guys

New memeber from NZ. . I am lookin at gettin a 318i M40 as a run around. . But I would like a little more power :D My questions regarding the M40 are:

1 Will the Getrag 260 bolt up? (What gearbox do you recomend?)
2 How do these engines react to a small turbo? Would like to install turbo on stock engine & preferably with the head left on. .
3 Also how hard is it to convert the small case Diff to medium 3.64 LSD? ( what diff would you recomend ?)
