Can you turbo a 528e 1986 without head/ ecu swap?

Hello, I was told that I could not turbo my 528e without changing to an i head and also changing the ecu etc. I was just looking for a basic low pressure kit to add a bit of power, nothing too crazy.

I motor would be much better bang for the buck and allows you to use the revs. Is it possible with the e motor? Sure but your engine isn't really designed to rev and you might need a head gasket replacement anyway.
