Turbocharge your X?

[lo_jack]

I would want to see a turbine map for any turbo that was going to be mated to the I6. the manifolds don't bother me; you can fab up a flange for each group of three cylinders and make a new collector post turbo, but if you are going to run all six cylinders into one turbo, it is probably going to need to be on a new manifold. I would want to get the turbo much closer to the head than hanging it off the stock manifolds, ideally.

I don't think any kit that is sold for any car comes with tuning unless it is sold by a speed shop. I think everyone counts on the end user knowing you will need injectors, possibly a fuel pump, and a tune.

Because it is a P.O.S. "generic kit" put together by people that do not know what it takes to turbo a BMW, much less an X5.

A radiator hose sleeving kit?, high flow breather cap on a closed system?, utter Chinese crap. This "kit" is nothing but bling parts added up to justify the $1650.00 price. Prob 100.00 in the turbo alone and the rest of the parts add up to another 400.00 if that.

Major pieces missing of course are the turbo manifold, and tuning (standalone or otherwise). Not to mention all of the included parts are "universal fit" meaning you are on your own in getting them to fit. Feel sorry for anyone taken in by this supposed deal.
