I dont think it would do much for an engine over 2.0 liters

It was cool until I saw the price.... I would pay maybe $600 - $800 range for 2-5psi boost beyond that price I would just spray it

I'm sure they will get more out of them as the motors and controllers are improving and getting smaller everyday it seems.

It looks great for bottom end torque for a motor that big, if you want top end power you're better off with a smaller displacement

Probably much closer to one. =P

Cool thing about the BMW is that it has a 90 degree section in the intake perfect for this, and a battery in the trunk which can stay full sized. One could easily remove the 5-liter (yah, WTF...) windshield washer reservior to gain room for the 24V battery and fit a 2L reservior instead. Or find other room elsewhere pretty easily.

Making power up top is pretty easy, but the S52 is pretty gutless down low. Getting some torque fill would be nice, and even if it doesn't help on the track it would still be worth it for the street I'm thinking.

Sounds like it could help a bit down low.

Only downside might be needing a tune for all the air flow the motor would see that low in rpms

The plan is to move to higher flow injectors and MAF when the intake manifold, cams, and header go on. This will require some type of tune anyway, and was already in the plans. I'm sure something could be aranged. If I can stick with a stock ECU I'll seriously consider it.

Sentra has front traction issues that need work way before I think about adding more power. =/
I don't see needing or wanting any more toque ever, just more power when I can take advantage of it. The turbo is plenty enough on its own.

I'm hoping a tire upgrade will get me there or close, but camber is probably the real answer. Need someone to make lower arms or make my own.

Camber for what? Traction issues or turning issues?
