I've seen several custom jobs, however, they are very expensive and power gains are marginal at best (plues it kills resale value). You are better off saving money and selling the 328 and buying a 335. As far as I know, there are no bolt on "kits" made so you would need to find a good fabricator for a custom job.

Please excuse express705. I would think that anyone on this forum would be willing to help anyone out regardless of which model they drive. I would email extremeturbosolutions, Shiv at Vishnutuning, Terry at burgermotorsports, helixmotorsports or HPF. Any of these guys can put together a turbo kit for your car. Now with that being said, the price of putting turbo(s) on a N/A car is going to be quite substantial. You can put anything on there though with enough money. I would personally just wait it out and get the 335i when you are able to.

LOL I'm pretty sure Shiv and Terry do not have the time to develope a tune or "kit" for his car. They, however, may know some people in the industry who can do it but it ain't gonna be cheap or easy.

eaglesfan83 · 11-28-2011, 10:06 AM

You can have one made and pieced together Im sure but it would be to much money. Much better off selling your 328 at a loss if you have to and getting a 335. Would probably lose the same amount of cash getting the setup to run correctly as you would selling the 328 for a loss. It can be done though.

rader1 · 11-28-2011, 10:07 AM

You may find more info/help in the NA section. Im sure you could put a centrifugal blower on it, however i have no idea if there is a ready made kit. If not then a lot of expensive custom fabrication is in order.
BTW, i see your location is Murfreesboro. Is that TN?

Express · 11-28-2011, 10:11 AM

installing turbos or a blower is easy. its adding fuel management and tuning the car to handle boost that is the issue i believe.

I worked at Estes trucking in murfreesboro while in college. Nice community(as MOST suburbs of Nashville are.)
Goodluck and safe driving

Fundahl · 11-28-2011, 10:21 AM

The N52 is not setup for boost, hardware and software side. But anything is possible with time, money and knowledge. I believe there was a centrifugal supercharger kit mentioned on these forums being put together by ARMA or something.....

Do some more searching and report back for us. Good luck!

Trojan4evr · 11-28-2011, 10:32 AM

I'd say save up for 335i. Spending money on mods on turboing a 328 is just ot smart.

Jeller · 11-28-2011, 12:07 PM

If you have $10K for a supercharger/turbo set up. Then you have 10K to put towards a 335i. Thats the best decision, cut your losses.

Soon after I purchased my 328xi I felt the same way. "I'll just mod it here and there to get it like a 335"

Fortunately I did some extensive reading and only spent ~$40 on a K&N drop in filter. Do yourself a favor, enjoy your car for what it is and save up until you can afford to trade in your car at a loss and purchase a 335.

vasillalov · 11-28-2011, 01:52 PM

Arma makes a supercharger bolt-on kit for all N52 engines. It is in the Naturally aspirated forum. You can buy it now.

Go dig in the right forum. This is not the right place.

The problem with the 328i and more power is that a 335i exists. No one will put the time, effort and money into the N52 when the N54 is already turbo'd and easily accessible.
