Default e30 318is question

Right folks i know this is a ford website but im not joining a bmw one to ask a question lol.
My mate has just bought a bmw e30 318is and is wanting to turbocharge the engine!! so hes wanting to know if the engine is suitable as it is and what kind of pistons these come with as standard cos someone told him they are forged.
Any feedback would be great cheers in advance.

This went recently on ebay, looks a bit of a bodge with the pipework and the like, but the main bracket and charger were there - the pipework would be easy to get done properly.

Food for thought

Forgot to add, Most people on E30zone are a bunch of inbred fucktards who will criticise you for every little thing you do - Good luck
