european cars are alway's expensive to modify compared to the japanese market, i know it's expensive to mod a beemer especially, but at the end of the day i get paid well and bust my ass for the money i get so saving and spending a large amount of money into something that i want doesn't really bother me. As far as the stock turbo's go i would like to keep the exhaust side stock but with a new wheel and compressor housing, i am praying to god that there are turbo's out there that match up with the N54's, from what i have read the injectors are close to maxing out at 400hp on the procede. from what i have read (i may be wrong so correct me if i am) they are at 80-85% duty cycle on the injectors at 400hp, direct injection isn't soemthing i have had to mess with at toyota but i'm not scared to research for upgrades or find out what i would need to do to make them flow better/more.

Not 400hp, but 400rwhp...!

335's doing 0~60mph in 3.8s'ish is quite remarkable. Now, there is some work to be done to get those times, but for those who will put light weight Neez, fatter tyres, exhaust, etc... Should be able to reach those figures with very little money, perhaps $5~$6k ...!

Rolling with a Porsche Turbo on the highway would be fun, to be able to hang or play with such a supercar is testiment to the N54's engineering.... with STOCK INTERNALS!

Your not going to outhandle the Porsche and a "pumped" up n54 might not make he tracks any faster.. but thats alot of power for under $60k.
