Has anyone here turboed an eta motor? (archive)

In my search for the right e28, I kept an open mind and drove a 528e. The car I drove had a new cat and muffler from Midas, so maybe I didn't drive a good example. Anyway, it was slow and had no "punch" like the 533i, 535i. This particular car was a 5 speed.

There's lots of room under the hood for this little motor, which means lots of room for turbo hardware.

Has anyone here created an eta turbo monster? I really wanted to like this motor, but in stock form (or worse) it didn't get me very excited.

It would be great to hear what people here have done to their eta motors (turbo or otherwise) to get more power than a stock 3.3 or 3.5 litre motor.

Thanks in advance,
Keith.
