Advice Needed Please

My New project car is an Mcoupe with the s50b32 engine stock (321hp).

I bought the car, a 2001 model and sent it to a paint shop 2 months ago and then proceeded to get my toys together for the turbo conversion.
Gtk66, Newgen Wastegate, Godzilla dump valve, Aeromotive fuel system, defi meters, clutchmasters cltch pack and flywheel, wiseco's, pauter's, arp's.

While waiting for the car from the paint shop i decided to turn the car into more a track car than a street/strip car. For Club events, occasional street use.
Bought lightweight bride seats, brembo gt brakes, H&R coilovers, ordered many parts for the suspension and a body brace.

As a track car and considering how much i've spent should i go N/A or turbo??

ML320cdi, F250dsl.
Personally if its going to be road race Iwould go n/a. Larger turbos have a lot of lag and that becomes somewhat anoying on tracks with a lot of corners. What compression were you planning or running n/a and turboed?

No offence but wouldn't your question be better asked on a BMW forum??? No doubt there are people here who could offer a wealth of knowledge and an opinion but I suspect you'll not get the response you're looking for on an MB forum...
