Re: compression questions
How much is he paying you? The compression is pretty high for boost, so I would say if you don't want to mess around with lowering the compression or building the internals, keep the boost low. Way low. The Active Autowerke stage 1 turbo kit for the E36 325 doesn't come with a gasket or parts to rebuild the motor, but it only runs at 7psi. The stage 2 kit comes with a head gasket spacer and runs at 11psi.
If I were doing it, I would pretty much say build up the engine AND get the gasket for safety reasons. Else wise, you won't be running anything to high in boost. However, if he doesn't want to get some strengthend internals or a head gasket, if he keeps the boost low and takes care of it, it should be fine.
And there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to turbo it or go with FI. As with all cars going from NA->FI, if you do it right, you won't have any major problems. Hell, DA Motosports as a M3 that is running 30+psi of boost, and is pushing over 1000 ponies out.
