Sorry I missed your reply. Not to bag on anyone with a DASC but turbo is the way to go and this is why:
1. You loose HP (around 40%) turning the supercharger under boost. You only loose max 5%-10% in exhaust restriction with turbo 0% while not in boost.
2. Turbos are easy to intercool. Superchargers are almost impossible but I know one person that did it.
3. You are limited to 16psi with a DASC supercharger.
4. Turbo system is much cheeper to purchase then the new DASC.
Turbo Bad Things:
1. easy to over boost
2. oil has to be changed more often
3. No boost until turbo spools
4. busted engine & drive train parts from too much HP
Pound for Pound of boost the turbo will always make way more power on a gasoline motor....Notice I said gasoline not nitromethane.
Now what was your question? Do you need firmware for your DME? Help with the correct parts for a good turbo for the BMW? Help installing?
Please explain?
