i have a m50 in my e30 and you will find it hard to get a turbo in the space thats left.
i have read that these engines can take up to near 500bhp on stock internals but i have no idea if thats true.

wont get anywhere near 500 HP on that tiny turbo guys.
250 ish yes, anymore no way, its just too small to flow enough exhaust gasses
