I don't get these crazy prices (although est.) for these blower systems. Yes, I understand R&D and fabrication, but I've installed a bower system on my '93 Lightning, and a turbo kit on my '03 Mach 1...the cost of both of those kits were less that $5K. $15K for a kit, or even $10K for a kit is crazy IMO...other than a huge mark-up due to it being a BMW....just my .02.
A great way to keep the cost down and also ease the install would be going with ProCharger P1 head unit or a Powerdyne. At the low boost levels with a high compression motor those two head units would prove quite reliable. Without needing to punch a hole in the oil pan the install would be a few brackets, tubing and tune...not a bad deal. I'm sure with 5-6 psi you'd see 75-100 rwhp which would make the car a monster...and I'd get an 11 sec ride back!

The 93 Lightning was not supercharged from the factory. The original 93's had a 5.8L speed density motor with a nice 240 hp...and crappy internals. Tuning wise, I had my turbo car tuned at RWTD in Mobile, Alabama and with 12 hrs on the dyno tuning the car cost around $600...I wouldn't use a run of the mill chip in my car IMO, there's too many variables especially with a turbo car. The supercharged cars are much easier to nail a tune down from what I've seen. I would agree that Mustangs ract well to any mods...I just can't take the squirrels that drive them cars any longer

At any rate here's a few pics of the orginal 10:1 compression motor that made too much power (502 RWHP) for the crappy piston...ripped it in half (which was the orginal motor in my '03 Mach...fyi, the orginal motor didn't grenade from a tune by RWTD). The M3 has forged internals right...I wouldn't consider a power adder unless it is.

Yep, that is what may happen if too much air and fuel are forced into the piston. Forged interior is not the only problem, it is also the fuel octane rating to prevent premature ignition. A particular issue of high compression engines and one of the major reasons one canīt run boost above .32 to .35 BAR w/o changing the internals to lower compression.
