If more than twincharged numbers are desired, might as well up the compression and keep the M62 or switch to full turbo and put lower compression pistons in.

I think if people still find they need power after 350ish whp, they could just buy the manifold, slap your TB on there, and tune for more power. My goal is 350whp and torque. Whatever gets me there reliably will end up on the car. Whether it's a twincharged kit, custom done KB blower from me, or some serious engine messaging I will own that power and realiably!

There are many other changes coming as well. I will have an animal on my hands after I'm done.

no you cant trust me im at 6k for internals and drivetrain

Turbo would be around $800, piping is $100 and then when you know how to work on cars, have a lot of local friends that do, unlimited access to a machine shop for free, etc...yeah $4k is more than enough money.
Our twincharger kit and our 2.4 kit WILL come in under 2000 each. Its all about finding deals and only doing what needed. and fixing it when/if it breaks...just imho
