oh, c'mon, PG, give the kid a break.
compare to other cars, performance mods on our cars fall short. so if you want some serious tuning, u will need to get most of your stuff custom made.
a handful of members here had done quite some work on their car. go ahead and read up.

in all seriousness, jnenad has done a supercharger project on the M104 block that you can find info on here.

the things to look out for with this engine is the composite head gasket that is prone to failure if the car ever overheats, as well as a rapidly detriorating wiring harness. putting a lot of stress on the inline six would likely cause you problems unless you plan to rebuild and go from there.

a member named paul (23K on the forums) has a custom turbo project where he's had pistons made to his spec (at least they were supposed to). a simple word of advice, if you plan to go with custom pistons, don't get them from JE ;) haha
