hey all, im planning to put a turbo into a 06 530xi... never seen it done or heard of it done. i know superchargers can be put in but a turbo is whats calling my name. wondering if anyone has tackled this project and if not, what are yallz suggestions on either the supercharger or turbo. and also im planning to convert it to a dual exhaust. but i heard rumors that if i do that it will lower its power. suggestions anyone??? thx
What's interesting is that many car manufacturers currently use s/c's in their high performance models (eg. Audi, MB, Ford, GM). Maybe I'm wrong, but the only car manufacturers that seem to have a good track record with turbos are Porsche and Nissan (with Toyota, Volvo, Saab, and Mazda to a lesser extent). I'm still on the fence with BMW's use of turbos but the engineering that went into their lates M turbo motor definitely looks promising.
