To be car specific, most turbo kits have exhaust manifolds, and custom bent tubing. Aside from that, a turbo is a turbo despite size and quantity. You will never pass smog with this kit I am sure because your exhaust manifold will undoubtedly be a one-off, but it sure looks like fun. Unless the 535i manifold could be modified to fit?

ok well i guess my next question is, what are the best engine mods to do that will not void any warranty (that is huge and a great perk with BMW) and that are cost efficient? again, im looking for products suitable for a 2006 530I sport

I mean it 'could' work but you will need a manifold for twin turbos plus tuning.

i am very wary about exhaust. I am a V8 kinda guy and I hate the rice rocket sound. I am not sure how the bmw 530I sounds but i still cant imagine a deep sounding 6 and i do not want my ride sounding cheap as it goes by... so exhaust maybe the one thing i stay away from completely even though its is typically the first thing i have always changed on past vehicles.

get ecu tune, exhaust(there might be one for sale in the classified section) and check out DINANCARS.COM.

I personally think BMW 6 cylinders sound great!!! I would definitely add an exhaust and maybe one of the intakes from Dinan or it appears RPI is held in high regards here as well. Neither will do you wrong.
ECU tune would also be a great change as well.
Here are my two vehicles.
The 3" e36 m3 exhaust I built myself:
At the track:
The e36 vert is a 328iC and it has a UUC System U Replica:
