WANT 2 UPGRADE MY 325

Post Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:04 pm

Reading this thread is really tempting me to upgrade my engine. Could anyone please advise me what i can do and which is the better route- turbo or supercharger.......

I would like to do the turbo route, cos reading these threads here most of you lot have gone this way, so it must be better off..

Also could anyone advise me on who to contact to do this conversion and roughly how much it would cost me.

thanks

speak to Ant about turbos dude and then ask questions of the other boost junkies on here, i.e. Fozzymonster, Tony-Unna, Lentec has a supercharger. There are at least 6 or 8 blown 325's on here mate.

it would be good if people could put up just some
basic and simple info though.

prices,maintaining, etc

i could imagine its a lot of hassle

i always wondered why most people turbo e30s whereas
the e36 etc are normally supercharged

I started looking into turboing mine (S50 engine) and after asking round a few forums, it seems the preferred route is supercharging.

Nobody seemed able to answer why this is, they just said dont turbo it
