325is Turbo Project, Engine upgrades?

I need some help on what I should upgrade on my 325's engine?
I wouldn't be asking this, but since the 325's engine has 260,000 on a stock engine, the engine still feels very strong, but I know if I add a turbo to this engine the way it is, something is going to blow,
even with low psi.
So my question is what should I buy to get my engine worthly of a turbo? New head? new pistons? new cams?
Any help would be great, because I'm getting tired of getting beat by those v8's.
Turbo is already ordered.
Thanks!

i wouldnt go stock, just b/c that if you are replacing them anyway, might as well upgrade because they will last longer

oh yes, and CRS disease, lol props to c1apton for that one

Sell, it and buy one with less miles. That way the suspension has more time on it along with the engine.
