Hey guys, I've been playing with the idea of FI since I want the extra power & love my car.. What would I need in reinforcement to be able to run a Stage1/2 turbo or SC setup in my 93 332i. I already have the subframe reinforcement and have the sway bar tabs waiting to be installed.

Here's a list of what I have->
-UUC TME's
-New motor mounts
-New RTAB's
-Subframe reinforcement
-New subframe bushings, diff bushings, diff bolt
-Sway-bar reinforcement

Car is a 93 325i *98 S52 converted to OBD1* w/ ~85k on chasis, ~65 on engine, 30k on ZF tranny & brand new driveshaft, guibo, etc.

Mods: 3.91LSD (Would go lower for FI obviously), 24lb injectors, CAI, 3.5" Euro HFM, new lifters, exhaust, headers

Sounds like you are ready to go. IMO, I would go turbo. Might need a headgasket if you are planning on going over 10-12psi.

Do it!

Haha, I want to.. trying to decide whether to buy a factory supercharged vehicle (03 Cobra?) or stick with the bimmer.. I have just made this thing bullet proof though so it will be a tough decision!

I'm also just worried about the thought of if the car is totalled all the $$ is gone to waste, are there any companies that will appraise the car with the value of the motor swap & other expensive mods?
