looks like a good job. Shame there don't appear to be any dyno plots to substantiate the claims.

2.1 bar continuous boost though. No wonder it will need new rings every 40k kms...

Question: What is the life expectancy of a 1000 horsepower M3 engine? How long will it live?

Answer: 1000 horsepower M3 engine needs new piston rings every 40.000 km. Piston rings are very cheap and an engine rebuild every 40.000 km costs 2.000 USD. For a 1000 horsepower car 2000 USD is not a big deal every 40.000 km. Rebuild includes new piston rings, pistons are not replaced, a new headgasket is installed, and new oil is added

You would have thought the exhaust would be in sections too. Not too keen on having to have the exhaust welded together on the car. no chance of getting that off again then...
For a few quid more they could have addressed that.

What makes me laugh though is that there is no mention of sorting the brakes until you look at the options at the end of the page !!
I would have thought this would be essential.

Just my thoughts

Why? Well, they are obviously big fans of the 'street sleeper' look (much the same as the S and RS Audis) - the car looks totally standard.

Gotta admire them for trying, but like JohnW says, there's not much proof that those mods and 2.1bar of boost will produce 1000bhp, and looking at the size of the turbo, I would imagine it would be a bit of a handful when the power kicks in.
