Title: M42 Laying Down Some Power
Post by: NickMav on April 02, 2013, 05:49:24 PM

I've had my E30 for a little over 5months now and i've done a whole bunch of maintenance and suspension upgrades but never touched the engine performance wise. I like the M42 so I dont want to swap anything else into it. I was thinking the turbo route. I know this is probably on here a lot but what are some good pointers. Im looking for a direction to point myself in and start laying down some power with this thing. I havent done much research at all with Turbo M42s or making power with M42s in general. Thanks guys

The same things that apply to every other turbo build for any engine apply here.

Do you have any specific questions? If not, read around.

Sorry, don't know what else to say besides don't be so lazy :)
