You can make plenty of power with a T3 manifold like a super 99 https://shop.boostinperformance.com/...er99-turbo.htm. Bottom mount also keeps the heat low which is always good.

I know it says coming soon...my understanding is they are selling these now:


hey Guys, my name is Felipe, i work at the factory in Brazil, and worked on the development of the new TMB02 turbo manifold. As you guys can see, the new manifold has a T3 flange, and a 44mm V-band WG Flange, it is not a true twin scroll, but it does has a division inside to help with the O2 sensors, and performance.
we didn't make it a true twin scroll due to restrictions with the WG port location, and the prototype of this manifold runs 800HP, so this is what we're looking for on this upgrade.
the manifold was developed and built, and is produced at our HQ in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as some here know, we've been on the performance business since 1990's, and we do have some other products for BMW already, like the E36 manifold, that was the very first cast manifold for a E36, and it won a award at SEMA 2006.Beside, we have the S54 manifold, released past year. The guys at Maximum PSI have another unit for the N54 with them to install, tune and dyno it, so we are waiting for its results.
i'll be glad to answer to any questions on this new product and for anything else i can help with. if you want one of them, just mail me on sales@spaturbousa.com i have a limited stock in CA, so run to get yours from this first batch.

PS. i'm Brazilian, so, sorry for my english.

Can't remember 100% right, but if it fits the N54 it will not fit the N52 due to stud spacing.

That is a shame...no way you could slot the holes or something to make a universal flange?

From SPA: aren't the N52 and N53 the same ports and bolt pattern as the N54? only the N55 has the lower bolts different?

Looks like they don't know. Sorry if this is a none starter. I wonder if you could drill some new holes etc. it to make it fit.

Did this thread dissapear into the cosmos?

A second thread got started it can be found here:

We are undergoing a new phase with the build by adding strength with forged pistons and H-beam connecting rods. As we continue onward I will post more photos

Due to the complexity, fabrication of parts and loss of AC we still have no plans to market this as a kit or sell it as a kit. It has been a great learning tool, learning about the strengths and weaknesses of the N52. Our goal with it now is to continue to make the car a great track day car and be able to run in various classes reliably.

Schweet, thanks!!
