show´s that a turbo setup out does all those mods and then some.

300WHP at 10psi is absolutely common on a M30.
and at least 300lbs torque to the wheels.

I wouldn´t hesitate to run 1bar of boost on a completely stock M30 + ARP headbolts.
that´s at least 350whp and 390lbs torque to the wheels ......!!!!!
With great challenges comes great engineering.

Here is a M30 turbo. 14psi boost.
That´s how M30´s behave when properly turboed.
