    What is needed to turbo m54

    Essentially I own x5 e53, l322 range rover to be exact. Not to bore you with details I want to put m54 motor in it, yes I swap stuff like that all time. I'm doing it for better fuel econ and more reliable motor, m62 needs rebuild per usual vanos, timing chains ect. I rather put my money into this I like i6 better anyway. This brings me turbo build. I'm after about 350 max hp, more of having 300 to 350 ft lbs of torque for towing ect. I need help on piecing it together I would like to use Borg EFR turbo. I need to have o2s there cat present for emissions. I would appreciate all info and parts list what I need to get. I build motors all time and trany and restorations from e type jags to ferraris, unforyinatle was chevy too bah. I know what I'm doing and have fab skill. But I dint know nothing about turbing vehicle aside from idea what's needed. That's were you guys come in to teach me info I need. Thank you in advance.

    If you want better fuel economy, with reliability, start with an engine that was designed for boost.

    In my experience, the M54 can be made to make the power you want without opening it up. (8 psi boost, 54mm turbo) However.....it's designed to offer torque above 3200 RPM, where the N54 will offer torque at 2000 RPM.

    I'd start with the N54 honestly....and that's coming from a die-hard M54 enthusiast.
