    Twin Turbo BMW M5 v Twin Turbo Holden VE

    The BMW has an excellent car with an excellent motor, BUT the modifications seems second rate. Definately not worth the $300k+ US asking price.

    Who in their right mind sticks turbos, let alone TWO of them behind the rear wheels....

    yeah, they're engineered for the original power output for a reason....
    and the BMW's problem is dynamics, not power

    It gets worse jedi, the turbo on the left is effectively further away than the one on the right by at least a metre. Not only is there tonnes of lag, but its unequal between both turbos

    Obviously engine compartment room is at a minimum, also the oil lines look very vunerable there, it wouldnt be too laggy though see its a TT setup, not my favourite FI project though, a better solution would have been longer primaries and the turbos bolt up there

    They shouldve just supercharged it. Put the blower between the cylinder banks and mock up a new intake.
