Last I read, they aren't even bothering with another N/A to Turbo Kit because of all the money in R&D and fabrication they sunk in the E46 kit. I'm 100% sure that their new project is the Single Turbo for the N54 kit, so don't expect any other additional projects else until that's been released.

I believe somewhere on this site chris from hpf posted that it was impossible to do a lhd turbo on the e9x, and therefore wont even bother.

I dont think this project was ever finished. I could be wrong though.

I cant blame them. Are they doing anything for the n55 or just tuning the n54? i guess they wouldnt even bother with the n55 since there arent that many in comparison to the n54, in other words the market for the n55 turbo is probably less than 1/4th the market (between n55 & n54). I just thought this would have happened at least for OP because it seemed like money was not an issue.... but in reality, it always is. these projects are fucked up, you go in thinking you will spend X amount.... end up spending X to the third power when its all done. Same shit happened with my widebody thankfully i pulled through. still broke lol
