I was surfing the net the other day and I found this website that said that a E46 BMW 323i has turbo's for it. I'm not sure whether this is true, but if it is ,I am very very interested in getting one for myself. Can someone help me on this?

You can turbo your car. Depending how much you want to spend will determine your performance output.With a stock motor you can run a turbo with about 6 to 8 psi of boost any more will do massive damage to motor because of your motors high compresion.You will have a noticeable increase in power with that much boost.Any more you will have to take your motor apart and do massive overhaul.But I think you would be happy with the 6 to 8 psi of boost.If you have any other questions email me direct.
