I drive to montreal alot, and I take out the s/c with the bracket and change it to the oem belt and change the injectors and put in the 328 chip, seems like alot of work, but i keep the piping intact and after swapping it from one car to another then taking it off and on 2 times, it only takes about 1hr to do...
Also i wanna make it reliable because i just finished my degree and now i need it to get to work and back

And if i can save a few dollars it would be great because i wanna put it on to body work

turbo it then. sell the supercharger kit and buy a technique tuning stage 1 or 2. you don't have to worry about gas unless you spool that bish up.

I do need a radar detector! especially after loosing my license 6 times in 5 years

And why is it so hard to find a Damn m52???? like s52 i understand but a m52!

And after about 20 hrs or research and alot of input from you guys (Thanks) Im sticking to a m52 And now i just gotta find one.

Steve u really got me thinking about that turbo business... i didn't like it alot on my integra but hey maybe the bimmer will be a different experience.
