It's not worth putting turbo if there's a more powerful engine for the same car. Better change your 318i to 325i or 328i.

Don't put a turbo on this engine. Bad idea.

Sell the car and get a six cylinder BMW and be happy.

Like the others said, do not annoy with a turbo. For a bit more than what could cost to put a turbo in, you could hunt down a 2.5L engine from a wrecked car and do a exchange. you will end up with more hp and a broad torque curve. Then, if you are still not pleased and still have money left from the exchange, plumb a turbo in.

The 1.8L is hard to get any more ponies out of it.
