thanks miguex looks like the 530i in the e46 site had a so much trouble with the turbo... i really want one but i think i'll do more resreach thanks for the info and yes it was wat i was looking for
1. i would probably steer away from after market turbos. that is a lot of work and a lot of problems.
2. why are your AEs off in your sig pic?

didn't I post a thread like this after the June 6th meet? hahahaa
Anthony, there is a Dinan throttle body, RPi scoop and exhaust and that's about it, as far as reliable parts for making 530s faster. I don't remember if you have a stick, but a different clutch would help, a short throw kit, an LSD (which is also a crap-load of money)... ehhh... Unless you wanna spend 4 g's on a supercharger kit and then feed all your paychecks to mechanics that'll be trying to make your car run...
