The whole generator-mode-in-lieu-of-wastegate sounds cool until something wears out/breaks and you have an overboost situation. If you're lucky, you'll just pop a head gasket. Being a BMW, that'll probably cost you a good bit alone.

I got a bangin' deal on my Mustang a few months ago. 1990 5.0 LX Hatch, 5-speed, chipped full exhaust, good paint and 59k on the clock. Titled as hail damaged, and has a couple barely noticeable dings on the roof. Got it for $4800

I can't believe I didn't think about this sooner.

Ooh! Car acronyms are always fun.

Juke + VR38DETT = Only reason I'd buy a Juke.

Reminds me of a video i saw many years ago. Found it on Kazaa, Sleeper Turbo Caravan Smokes Camaro.

California is the reason I hate California.
