BMS PBX and N51

Hi all,

I am thinking about putting a PBX in my car and I have the N51 engine. Now I have a couple of questions:

1) Has anybody else put the PBX in an N51 before? Are there differences regarding the installation process? Are the hp/tq gains about the same?

2) The N51 has a more advanced emission control system than the N52. Can any modification that the PBX performs (richer fuel-air mixture, different ignition timing) have a long-term negative effect on components of emission control system, such as the catalytic converters?

Thanks!

The install will be the same and your gains will be similar as well.

No issues with your cats either. Just install and enjoy
