How much would it ideally cost to buy a turbokit or buy all the things needed for a turbo build if i were to do most of it myself, What kind of tunning, chips, etc. And what would the cost be or are there kits already out there for a 03 530i.
Thanks.
It is a very tricky question. 2000$ to 1.000.000$ Normally it cost about 6000-10000$. Also, do not tune m54, better m50 or 52 on the iron block.
e39 540i 6speed Supercharged,
E36 v8 m62 with m60 headers, Turbp HX-40 0.6-0.5bar or 9psi, custom exhaust & Turbo manifold, injectors 440cc, ECU Invent EMS-2, Mishimoto Intercooler and oilcooler, etc…
You can use most e36 turbo parts. Exhaust and intercooler piping will have to be specific (custom) to your e39.
For tuning you will need to find someone to tune your MS43, or buy a pre configured ecu/maf/injector package from someone that knows what they are doing.
Yes, I'm still deciding on whether to wait and save up to buy another car, better base to start with a car that can sort of take it being stock. It is my first car being with only 129000 miles. Its a great car just stock to begin with, but i want power.

Are the e36 turbo parts worth putting on? Will they give me enough power?
Technique Tuning sold a turbo kit for that engine but in the E46 330i. I think the compression was left stock and power was in the 325-375 rwhp range. More would be possible on lower compression or E85. Probably cosmetic or athena sell a compression lowering head gasket.
you'll not find much about m54 in this forum. check forced induction forum on e46fanatics.com
