I agree, plus they have been in the market for a while with the intercooler. Its not much, but its a start.

To be honest, since they are going standalone, it should be easier for them to make turbo kits. The hardest part about alot of these kits that use the standback, procede and other piggybacks will be keeping the DME happy.

However, using a standalone has it's week sides as it will not keep any of the DME's safety checks and probably won't keep track of as many variables as the stock DME does. The current DME is VERY responsive to knock etc, we'll see just how good their system is.

I think that a big part of the fact that there are very few N54 failures at big power levels is the N54's ECU and software...replacing this you will take away much of the N54's strength.

There's already a company that is about ready to give us an upgraded fuel delivery kit and that is very very important, probably more important than making some pipes and connecting them to a turbo charger unit. HPF is far behind....unless they buy that fuel kit and then reverse engineer it and make it better.
