I demand a brand new Turbo innovation for the N54, not a re-used shell with modified internals. Is it impossible to get one, no, it will cost me damn near $20k just to have one exclusively and customer built for my car.

Do you consider a GTR a lower end JDM tuner car ?

On fueling - having a REAL turbo uprgade should get us to max HP without having to change the stock fueling setup. After somone comes out with a better fueling rig then we can turn the boost up more with the already existing upgraded turbos.
with all due respect I voted yes, I was just asking a question

Never thought you did other wise....I understood your question, but others would have taken your question as fuel for another XYZ negative, so I had to throw some sand on it before it spread

even though i voted yes, greddy turbo kits are historically pretty shitty in quality and hp/dollar value. instead of petitioning greddy and trying to get them to do it, why do you visit www.full-race.com and check out their kits. i'd definitely consider full-race if they jumped into the 335i market

+1 for Full Race. Those guys do some amazing work. I really think someone needs to take a leigit stab at pushing the envelop on the stock fuel system. I for one would rather max out the stock fuel system on Boost alone, i hate that you have to run Meth to any kind of numbers. Once tuners start maxing the factory DI, fuel solutions start coming around. Sooner or later people will view the E92 platform much like the Supra.

Not true, if you want to be making considerable power and actually use it effectively you will need to go to a fuel rail system. HPF has repeatedly said they are making a fuel rail system for the e90 platform. You can't just throw large injectors in a direct injection system, lol. your cylinders =

hahaha, let's just say that won't happen tomorrow. A 2JZ is not a direct injected motor, is much cheaper to replace and readily available left and right.

Assuming you're able to keep injection pressures where you want them to ensure atomization, why not?

The support will come, aftermarket parts manufacturers would be foolish to not take advantage of a crowd like BMW? Lets face, your typically BMW owner is not going to be buying upgrades with food stamps if you know what i mean

Yes you are confused. http://www.greddy.com/ + skylines, supras silvias etc.. which will all run circles around our high end BMW. Are you sure your sig is acurate?

It is, hence why I said "I thought" and put the confused emoticon after the statement. Either way, I am all for it, the more options available the better, I doubt one will come though.

Greddy isn't that bad. But compared to Full Race there is no contest (especially with their new BW EFR turbos ). It's like saying the BMW 335i is a pile of shit, what you really want is a Ferrari F430.

Well yea the F430 is a whole new level, but the 335i isn't garbage...
