I guess it goes in the X6, a funny looking SUV thing:

Not really ideal flow-wise for the turbo on the right (fed by yellow/blue) but sure fits together nice:

So the 3.0L twin turbo can make 330whp on dyno dynamics (http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-dyno-results/382735-my-evo-x-135i-dyno-tuning-results-over-time.html) pretty easily, wonder what this v8 will be capable of...installed in an M3 :)

Dang thats nutty. Hope they dont have any heat issues having the turbos sit on top like that. Pretty squished setup!

One giant turbo would be sweeet. haha

I doubt if it would fit in the M3 due to height, but would be a great option for the M5, which has the so-so sounding V10. Although with aftermarket exhaust, they sound like an Indy car.

that looks pretty crazy. would be quite insane if it was in the M3 or the I series.

Wow? Kind of a clusterfuck under the hood, but still pretty sweet.

Call me crazy but I just don't like rwd cars. Sounds like a X with bolt-ons, corn & tune will match as far as you can take the six-cylinder version. I had almost forgotten about that thread.

The X is awd...

And RWD is awesome fun.

It'll be sweet. Having worked as a BMW service manager I can tell you, it'll work as advertised. BMW holds nothing back when it comes to the way their cars drive and perform.

That looks ridiculous to me.. All I see is a shit ton of heat build up. Plus it looks like a little plastic fitting, or whatever you wanna call it a couple inches to the left. Sure it may work but I see alot of problems that will come into play with higher mileage.
