kit requires minor modifications? 
looks like a good way to ruin an otherwise perfect engine. turbo retrofits can't be done correctly without changing compression ratio down to about 8.5:1

China turbos are pure garbage and have been know to self destruct within a few hundred miles Stick with brand names like Turbonetics, Garrett, KKK, etc

If you can afford to own a M5 I would hope that you wouldn't cheap out on something like that.
