is RMW the only company making new products on the r53? He's got a turbo kit coming out and the new tvs 900 I'm sure he'll have a high hp version of that too
300 is doable with Head work, but very difficult if not impossible without.
The Heads on our engines are the real bottle neck point for making power.
But good luck with him trying, nothing wrong with giving it a shot.
the stock ecu/sensor is limited to like 19.5 psi isn't it? That's what really restricts power without head work
to get around that, stand alone setup $$$$ I would love to have the same hp/weight ratio as an e46 M3 without spending E46 M3 money but ehh I dont see it happening
Go over and check out Minitorque if you haven't. The Europeans are way ahead of us on this front considering there are quite a few who have been doing the turbo conversions for years. The guy who was helping with R&D on the TVS also has a build thread where he shows and it there are a few over there discussing it.
In short, most on the US forums seem to make a huge thing of it when they're doing it on a pretty regular basis across the pond.

not terribly interested in a turbo, but the RMW tvs front mount is interesting, as I said in the first post rmw is the only place I'm aware of doing anything
72,
I keep missing meeting you. Did you go to Hyperfest? I saw a R53, and hung out in hopes of meeting the driver, but he never showed and it was too damn hot to wait in the sun!
