Hang tight guys! We will have some more specs, pricing, and lots of pics VERY soon. The car pictured is my personal daily driver, so I can assure you this is the real deal!
I believe the stock ECU on the S54 can compensate and manage about 4lb - 5lbs of boost can't it? The intake manifold is good for 12psi but I'd never do it.
We're running a tuned DME with larger injectors and a different MAF, not just boosting the stock components. It is a complete kit with hardware, software, and a functioning CEL.

I know you guys have a fantastic reputation, but you should understand you're the 3rd or 4th vendor show a turbo E46 M3 with DME tuning on the dyno so forgive me if I wait for thorough driveability testing before congratulating...
Agreed, although I think its doable due to the amount of boost and power levels. We never tried to do it with low boost/low power levels on the DME, we just went straight for the bigger numbers. That I doubt would ever be possible on the stock DME alone.
I think this will be a great option for guys that dont want big power and something reasonable! Stock DME tuning will save alot of trouble as well. But anything with higher boost would most likely need to run another engine management system.
We pressure tested the stock manifold to over 10psi with no failure. I can't say every manifold will do the same, however we have options. We have a CNC'd intake plenum flange already made along with a pile of fab components if the stock plenum decides to give out. I also plan on carbon fiber wrapping stock plenum as another possible option.
It would be nice if you guys offered a 6-7psi option kit with a nice, small turbo for those of us that want a bit more power but don't want to deal with waiting until 4,000rpm to feel anything. Sizing a turbo to be at full boost at 2800-3200 would be nice.
