We have worked with some BMW S65/S85 swap stuff in the past. Its doable... Now that its been reverse engineered that is.
The problem I see is not with the implementation from the technical standpoint, its available now... its going to be the cost.
Very hard to justify for this car... the ITBs will be costly, let alone the ECU solution.

If the demand is there, along side the turbos and S/C... It might happen, probably see it from a company like Toda.
