well youve already got the m50 inlet manifold and Big Bore Throttle Bodies so next thing to do would be IMO s/steel decat exhaust and a dyno remap !! Ive done this to mine :)

Nah, you'd kill the valves... Why Bottle-up a normally aspirated unit that produces enough power to smash a Porkshe?

More than feasible, but you'll need a poo-load of other hardware to justify the power gain... Not that much really!!

Dont supercharge

If anything, there are a few ways of turbo'ing the M50 with minimal modification. I was looking into it for my M52 swap but decided against it as its going to be enough of a squeeze getting the damn thing in my car anyway.

Get some good headers fitted and a nice pipes going to the ass of the car with minimal resistance just like Snypa's rig.

Very interesting conversion btw, I like it alot!

OK so maybe supercharging is a bit excessive,but you can find quite a few BM's with turbos on youtube,and they look,sound,and go like the dogs knackers :) for example.........

No

you'l most likely need to install a decompression plate, headers etc...

There are some cool kits:

You get the manifold, intercooler, turbo etc.. etc..

Dont know how good they would be from fleabay but thats just an example of the kits you CAN get
