is it a case of bolting a turbo on with the matching manifold, drill/tap oil return to the block and lower the compression of the engine with uprated head gasket?
any advice/links would be great

Theres a few of us on here that have done this... oil feed from a T piece where oil pressure switch is, oils return drill and tap return pipe.... manifold to suit turbo and management system... I/C from a volvo fits well too... pm me your e-mail addy for pics..
If youve got the later engine then no lowering of the comp is needed, just the oversized H/G from bmw's would be enough.. BHP depends on your setup/turbo... mine hasnt been on R/R yet but was 200bhp with 240lb ft torque with the smaller turbo i had...

It's difficult to compare the results we've all had from our various setups as we've all gone about it in such a different way.
For example, my setup makes 240lbft of torque, same as blingsta's, but also makes 270bhp which is quite a difference.
