You can turbo almost any bmw, or car for that matter. it all comes down to proper tuning in the end. Guys you hear about who blow up their engines either a) didn’t get it tuned, or b) turned up the boost too much

I have a turbo 325 and a supercharged 325, and both run without any issues….the 328 engine has a forged crank, so I dont see why it is being said the block is bad for boosting

I have a 1994 BMW 318IS COUPE, its 1.8lt and gutless but i love the shape and car. What is the best way for me to get power,
I want it to be turbo so can I turbo it or is their a better turbo engine or engine that is better to turbo that I can drop
into the engine bay?
