the turbo kits are coming out, tuning is being sorted. (Vargas twin GTX28 kits shouldn't be more than a couple more months away?)

twin HPFP solution nearing release (couple of months away)

drop in super high flow LPFP's coming out now.

lots of people doing full rebuilds.

not to mention BMS's single turbo 135i with a 5862 making ~600rwhp on a fairly mild tune.

how is it ruined?

have you seen the power/torque curves? they're butter smooth, rather than the massive midrange hump on stock twins, making power BEYOND factory redline!

DI on these motors let you go for incredible spool on a reasonable sized single.

plus, less, less aggressive torque (so less stress on motor, trans, driveline etc.) for more, easier to control, power.

i'd say massively improved personally.

these cars will sing with a well tuned GTX3582, and i can't wait to see someone try to fit a 42R or 9180 or something haha
