Ok, here's what's going down. I just bought an '88 M3 from my uncle. This was his daily driver for a while, but was pretty well maintained for the most part. My uncle is a mechanic, and he took care of the car, but it then sat for almost a year in his garage. Driving it around, I noticed it needs a new Catalytic converter(where do I find e30 specific cats?), and new Spark plug wires (260 bucks for wires?! really?!?!) I have but one plan w/ my new car. To drop in a turbo, and set it at no more than 14 psi.
I want the engine to handle this boost reliably. I saw from one thread, that they sell rebuild kits for this car? (car has a lil' over 159,000 miles) Where could I find that? I have a friend who's going to be making the turbo kit, but I still need to find a thicker head gasket, and what else other parts would I need to hold this? anyone have any suggestions? All the cars I've owned in the past, and currently own have had a turbo put in ('89 CRX, '88 supra, '01 IS300, '98 Integra). I don't want this E30 to be any different. all help would be appreciated=) thanks
