you can turbo most cars mate. it would be a case of trying to fine a turbo kit on the net that would be your best bet thats if they do one.
if they dont you could build a turbo kit up,
which would mean getting a turbo then getting a manifold specialy made to take the turbo etc etc the you will need to uprate the headgasket to lower the compression and the pistons etc will be a costly build mate. your better off buying a e46 m3 if your willing to chuck that sort of money at a 318ci
Well if you have £7000 to go buy the turbo and upgraded everything you might as well buy a M3 for that sort of money and you should have some money left to pay for insurance... :thumbsup
EDIT**
Oh more to the OP...
Turbo charger £4000 minimum
Upgraded exhaust £500
Upgraded brakes £3000
Cost of labour charge if done by professional £1500
Upgraded head - £1000
ECU Re-map - £300
That’s a sum up of things done properly I believe…
with some people getting the most out of a 4-pot is more of a challenge I think...
if you were gonna do it to a 318 engine you'd probably wanna go the whole hog and stroke it for higher displacement as well. Money would need to be of little object though. Chap on here managed to get about 500BHP out of the M44 on his e36 318is...
