^ I agree. I bet you could get away with very mild boost, say 3-4 psi, but you'll only get 25% more hp out of it. Not really worth it in the end considering the R&D, tuning, and hardware.

A mass-produced kit would run at least $4-5k. Would anyone pay that much for a kit plus install and still have a car that's down on power compared to an M? At least with the M54 you still have room to play.

I just don't see it happening. I hope that it does, and that it works. I don't see it coming to fruition though.
