according to that post in the us:
525 3L engine w/o 3 stage manifold
530 3L engine w 3 stage manifold
in hk
323 2.5L w/o 3 stage manifold
325 2.5L w 3 stage manifold
I would imagine hk e60 and e90 will have the same model # convention. this means, you already have the 3 stage manifold. if you really want to play w some ecu mods, can also consider bms powerbox which improves throttle response as well as a little increase in bhp.

so i think i can save this $$ now. i got bms power box installed by myself already, hehe. maybe i look for remap ecu instead, hehe.

you havent suggested super charger for him yet?
I agree the upside of his current engine is probably limited but would suggest a turbo charged, perhaps the new 2L or 535 f10 instead, the former also benefits from the gov green tax.
ps, how is the bmw powerbox, made much difference?

i need to squeeze then power come.
i need effortless power for daily drive
the bms powerbox is same as sprint booster, if u used, u don't want to drive ur car if without it.

think wnshie here had okada plasma installed, he should be the best person to ask. I thought then someone tried another similar product and felt a bigger gain than okada plasma. might be pingu or ak can comment more.
wow, you installed the bms yourself.

icic, yes yes, i agree, i think north american don't has 523/520 or 323/320. but this had 318, 20yrs ago, i drive my 1st bmw is 318is in canada.
so i think i can save this $ now. i got bms power box installed by myself already, hehe. maybe i look for remap ecu instead, hehe.

yes, i'm cheap, if i can do, then i do it myself to save some penny for other mod.
i'm going get the roof spoiler and front lip later, then i paint the fuking thing myself together with the rear spoiler later, save 2k to do it by myself. colour paint and base paint ready., pending time to do it.
