Hello all,
I am completely new to this forum so please forgive me for being a noob. Anyways, I am 16 and I am currently driving a 2007 BMW X5 4.8i. This car, or truck, was passed down to me from my parents. They allow me to do whatever I want with the car.
I really want to upgrade the car internally for better performance. I have noticed that after the 2010 E70 X5 update, the engines feature a turbo charger. The 5.0i does 0-60 in a much faster 5.4 sec compared to the 6.0 sec on my BMW. I was wondering if it is possible to turbo-charge the engine and if it would be expensive.
I may do it with a neighbor who owns a car shop in Torrance, CA.
Thanks.
save your efforts and spray a bunch of nitrous through it.
Seriously.

lol i didnt know they sucked, i just knew the likely hood of a 16year old turboing a x5 is almost 0, so he might as well have an obtainable goal lol

Just keep it running. New X5 perfect for slaying mad pussy, in comfort and style. HS dream right there.
And don't forget the valve stem seal issues the N62 has! Very expensive repair.
...and no way to feasibly turbo this for anybody but the strongest of DIYers.
And to think I used to consider my first car pretty quick at like a 8.2 second 0-60 time when speedshifting the thing for all it was worth...
Your gonna kill your self and the car... Spend this money on driving school
Better off to start saving for the valley tube/rear cover, and all the timing cover/vcgasket leaks! And as previously stated, the valve stem seals unless you just really don't like mosquitoes.
Back into a BMW, this time a track rat....and it won't be BMW powered and no, not a V8 either!
Couldn't help myself, boosted e36 m52 street car in progress also!

N62 is bad mojo.
Turbo is going to be near to impossible.
Nitrous? Sure but also NOx gets the lifetime award for "most likely to have a young driver spin off the road and smash into things".
And just... N62... not good. Although maybe spraying a ton of Nox and meth through the thing will at least keep it de-carboned... But won't help the crappy valvetrain / valvetronic issues they tend to have...

Hence why I said "your going to kill your self and the car"
Hardly. I did my share of totalling cars in my late teens / early 20's being a freakin dumbass, modding cars up then crashing them. So I know how isht goes down at that age... I was a postard child for dumbassery.
