Yes it is unfortunately!!
Maybe you could get the mot then fabricate a catless pipe as a bolt in section? Lots more exhaust flow to the blower I should think :thumbsup:

Thanks Byron

It's horses for corses really. If I had a low millage m or any m I wouldn't have painted it, stuck a turbo on it drilled the holes I have in it! Or done half the things!

A really great bit of engineering there! :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

There's a great thread on the E90 forum about how the N52 can't be turbo'd and this guy DigiDon just goes off and bolts on a turbo which churns out near on 500hp. Most of the posts just go on about "shoulda bought a 335...", which is kind of sad really.

Interesting project, very unusual.
I hope the piggyback tuning doesnt frustrate the ecu and keeps the car driveable.
The ms45 is very sensitive.

Well we shall see?? If it dose not work I can take it out and get the standard ECU to do what I need. I just wanted to try this. The guys at Perfect power are confident it will.

And thank you unfortunately it seems forums are like that. People just want to tell other people that won't work!! Should have done this that!!

This blog talks a lot of sense on rear turbos. The car sound pretty good too!

Thanks it's been a lot of hard work!! And I have really tried to keep quality as high as I can and not rush anything.
