Get an n62 throttle body from a 4.8. they are cheap on eBay and the new plug is only like 15$. Straight pipe it, 4" Maf, tune and buy or make an intake. Other than that you are spending big $ on headers or a super charger.
I have a cold air without a shield and it gets stupid hot in the engine bay. Do you know where I could buy just a shield. I’ve checked eBay with no luck.
Probably would need to add a tune to take advantage of the upgrades.
The OP of my Touring had the M63 non V intake, and the Dinan set up with the before mentioned parts that he removed prior to selling to me.
I replaced the TB with the N62, and added the Turner set up.
I only did this because the DME has Dinan stage 2 software.
Otherwise, I would have kept it stock.
I will say, the car has more personality than my 03 sedan, which is no slouch.
Turner finally changed the tube to fit on an n62 tbody. About time. Looks like a decent setup. Says the Maf used stock scaling so no advantage in that. It's a better deal than the afe intake tho
Sand with wet sandpaper. First 400, then, 600, 800, 1000, 1200. At least 5 minutes each. Then polish with plastic polish. Then use car wax. They will look like new!
