I would like to add some horsepower to my car since it is only a 2.8 liter in a midsized sedan. I have found turbocharger kits online, but they are all running around six grand. Is there a cheaper way to do this? Can I simply but a turbocharger and put it in or is it a complicated process that needs other modifications?What do I need to do to make my 1998 BMW 528i compatible for a turbocharger?You would be much better off with a BMW M-3 from 1997 - 2000 model. They cost more than a 528i, but they have 100 more horse power than the 528i. The M-5 will be much more expensive, much bigger and mayby 400 HP with a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. A turbo charger requires very accurate control of the pressures developed in a smaller engine. The M-3 should have about 333 HP. A turbo running at 6000 to 10,000 RPM probably cannot stand the internal stresses that will be required with a 528i. If you have a free turbo with all ductwork and accessories, maybe it will be a good learning vehicle. But you will also need a spare car to go places like to work or school, plus insurance on two cars.What do I need to do to make my 1998 BMW 528i compatible for a turbocharger?Why not buy an M5?
Probably wind up being cheaper with less problems in the long run...What do I need to do to make my 1998 BMW 528i compatible for a turbocharger?It's not just a bolt on part, they engine will require professional tuning, as well as installation of new computer chips.What do I need to do to make my 1998 BMW 528i compatible for a turbocharger?
Forget it, even in Europe we don't get involved with a project like this. Change the car!
