I disagree with you on many points.....

While we don't offer any ready-made turbo ECU software for the M44, we know enough about the ECU to be able to tune it with a turbo. So getting a custom tune will most likely be cheaper than a standalone ECU

But the Pistons and engine base setup are not a turbo setup. You need forged dished and relieved pistons, Compression down around 8:1 |
If the stock engine can handle 8psi of non-intercooled boost from a DASC, it can definately handle 8psi of intercooled boost from a turbo. The engine is the same design as it's 6-cylinder cousins, which we boost to 8.5psi with a turbo, and they have no reliability issues whatsoever.
