It would be a total waste in my opinion. Turbo is the best in my opinion but is harder to install and tune. | | | | | 01-06-2012, 05:39 AM | #9 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
I seen a super/turbocharged e46 at Bimmerfest a few years ago. It was way overdone and mostly a "showcar" thing. I agree with Johnboy, if you want more HP and your motor/wallet can take it, just run a bigger turbo. | | | | | 01-06-2012, 02:11 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
