> [@LAFENGAS](#): > > do us all a favor and never turbo anything else ever again. 😉 gee thanx… about singles the best part about the 335 is instant boost, (and direct injecton) but with a big single your gonna loose that instant boost that makes the car perform so well… nice size twins like a pair of gt28rs would make really nice power on that car and still have a nice spool time but im sure there will be a gt30r kit or similar for it soon ---

I wonder how accessable those turbos will be? You would think easy with a inline layout but it looks like it will sit at a angle and once in the car impossible to reach. ---

BMW’s are slant sixes, so the turbos will have to be accessed from below I suspect. ---

> [@neonglh](#): > > Are they lighter in their native countries? Specs please. What does that have to do with the fact that cars are being made heavier because of stricter crash ratings (as Dave said) and because people (mostly Americans) prefer larger cars and gadgets to do everything. ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > And where you are pointing, the HP curve is still up at 350whp. I agree exactly at 7000rpm the torque and HP fall of dramatically (i suspect due to back pressure, the hotsides face each other with a “T” shaped downpipe, and due to the 12psi - 9psi taper). But with the mountain of torque behind it in the RPM range you can afford to shift at 6750 and still be in the powerband. > > You know, power under the curve. Which if you follow it, is extremely flat. Torque gets you moving, HP sustains it, ya know? i was talking about torque i prefer the feel of a flat tq curve to “oh my god! wwooo hooo” and as the rpm increase “hey, what happened to the power?” its like a VW or my Saabs torque curve. it makes the car feel like shit when you’re banging through the gears and theres no power except for the the first unusable bit of first gear. personal preference i guess. ---
