I wouldnt go cheap either but not necessarily would go all the best name brands either. The megasquirt is only 400 dollars new and does a lot. it is actually a stand alone system. Not having the skills to do this himself he should still be able to get someone to do a turbo setup for around 4k. I told him there would be a labor charge. Im sure that a setup on an x would be more than on a stang too. We have an outlaw car that runs 4.80s so far and we only have 6k in that turbo system and its a 106mm turbonetics turbo. It can be done is all Im saying.

MS will not work on the X5...its an OBD2 system....MS really only works on the OBD1 bmw....
plus with the valve timing, etc etc etc, i would not trust it to a MS...yeah a new mustang motor is a couple grand, wanna price out a new bmw v8?
and not trying to be an ass, cause i have replaced all that stuff on my car too, but its just a car...not a "car of that caliber"....i never understood how people think cause it cost more, it should break less.
ill sell ya my Dinan SC system if ya want....
