i dont know why an aluminum block wouldnt be turbo friendly? the N52 and N54 are both aluminum/magnesium so...i think ill contact HPF myself and find out
The N54 is a cast aluminium block ( no magnesium ) and has iron cylinder liners - so there is a big difference here. The engine of the e46 M3 has a full iron block.
