It's going to be slightly higher. This manifold utilizes a T4 turbo not a T3 like the SPA and most others.

Ty, S50 and M50 have the same head and same exhaust manifold, so yes. Only difference is the cams and (obviously) displacement). Which, on a related note, is why some folks call the E36 M3 the 330is.

Or 332is... but, it does have a WBS VIN, so it's an M-car. Although, so does the 850csi...

Totally depends. Anywhere from 300rwhp to 575rwhp depending on the engine displacement and mods.

A MLS on your 95 and 400rwhp is very easy. 450rwhp totally within reason.

Q1: what sorts of boost can you run on stock pistons int he M50/S50? Aren't those relatively high compression engines?

Q2: what engine management goes with an FI M50? What does that do to the rest of the car ? (Instrument cluster functions, etc)

Q3: Presumably this is an E36/E34 sort of project? Even though the E39 6s are still M5x series motors, the electronics in those cars are new/integrated/complex enough so as to pose a problem to seamless forced induction?

In any case, I'll need an E34 535i M30 manual TCD S3 black/black/shadowline sedan please.

...oh... And i'll need an E34 525i M50 manual TCD S3 black/black/shadowline wagon please... :)

My dream is that some day I can hand TCD or one of his designated appointees a pile of money and he'll build me a car the way i want it with no "old car" issues.

Unfortuneately, i have neither the funds or the parking spots to make good on my dreams. But i wonder - is there room in the TCD business model for installation / customization / tuning of customer cars?
