    UK M52B30/M52B28 Turbo Project

    Hello guys, i recently built a M52B30 with s52 cams and m54 rotating assembly and all the bits and bobs with a 540 3.5" maf ended up running 273 bhp N/A. 2k miles later spun a bearing and now its back to the drawing board... Ive never built a turbo car or owned one and I have been doing some research and trying to educate my self. Initially I was going for the world record for an M52 N/A engine with the current one being 333bhp in Romania then realised it would probably be cheaper to go turbo? The N/A Rebuild would cost around £3.5-4k
