BMW E6 318 tubo kit, do they exist?

[Alex12]

hi all, as the title suggest i am looking for a E46 318 turbo kit which is proving quite hard, does anyone know were i may be able to get a full 318 turbo kit?

Thanks

EDIT sorry the title should read BMW E46 but it doesnt seem to want to let me edit the title

I do get what you are both saying, however a 330 isnt really an option due to the cost of insurance, think il just leave it without, just curious though as to what kind of power i could expect from adding a turbo to a 318, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I really cant see how a turbo kit would add an additional £3200 onto my already high insurance as this is the extra i would need to pay to insure myself on a 330 as oppose to a 318, and yes i am one of the few people who would actually tell the insurance company if i added a turbo kit, its really not worth taking the chance these days.

cheers

Ye i see what you mean about it no being worth it to turbo a 318,

The car we are talking about is a 318ci coupe and from what i can gather non of the 318ci coupe engines are 8 valve i believe they are all 16 valves, is this right? as im really not sure due to the E46 saloon (318i) only having 8 valves, can anyone help clarify this up for me as i really dont understand as i thought they both shared the M44 and M42 engine?

cheers
