Super charger ;)









Lots of spondoolies help too.






Good contacts in the fabrication world to try keep the cost of custom work down.
A way of cooling the air from the charger.
Uprated injectors.
More than likely a pressure release valve (depending on set up).
New clutch if you want to make sure the new juicey power is laid down more efficiently.
Possibley uprated brakes to make sure you stop betterer.
New ECU and loom to match.

Off the top of my head.

tom, its too small dude.

look @ it this way... BMW removed the stock units for the works cars, and even then they are limited boost into 1600cc engines.

M20B25 is a big air pump, to get more you need to add a bigger air pump, follow the logic ??
