i was looking into doing this, i think over in europe there were some turbo granda 2.8i made, same motor as in the 280i. here is a link i found its pritty impressive the numbers http://home.c2i.net/jloevset/default.htm i was thinking going the super charger way as well. i think it would be alot easior to hook up and you would have to worry about custom manifolds and exhaust.
good luck let me know w/ any progress you make

Not wishing to sound like a stuck record but putting more power into a Tasmin is not simply a matter of doing something to the engine. The rest of the car has to be upgraded to cope and that can easily double the costs involved. Brakes, suspension and chassis all need to be included in the equation.

I speak from experience here. The more power I put into the 520, the more work I have to do on the rest of the car!

have you thought of the 24 valve v6 cosworth as mentioned on the project cars link of this site, just putting the word cosworth on the back makes people think twice
