Then you'll have 250+ hp and you don't have to s/c it and take away ur engines life. Plus any other engine than the M42 and M44 you can do mods to it alot more mods. If you are to S/C ur car it's better off doing it when it's new not with xx,xxx mileage. Cause if you can have a S/C for 3 grand and get what 200hp or like 160 to the wheels why not save up 5-6 grand and get twice the amount of hp. I guarantee my car with 85,xxx will last longer than anyones ti with a S/C on it.
Sorry for the rambling on....
Just trying to open peoples eyes up alittle. |
I haven't heard of anyone having problems with supercharging a high mileage 318ti. I put mine on at 100,000 miles and haven't had any problems, it's fast, and it still has the factory weight distribution. I just turned 120,000 miles yesterday, I drive it everyday for work (about 80 miles a day) and it is the most reliable car I have ever owned. Oh, and I get over 30 mpg. And I didn't have to yank my motor or ECU or EWS or suspension or exhaust or radiator.
