Seems like he's stuck in the 90's Supra mentality.
For an actual race car, upgrading the stock IC would be a headache. He's talking about putting it in a drift car that will be at redline longer than it's at idle. Big boost still needs to produce actual results besides dyno numbers.

I get your point, but I respect the direction they went. No need to complicate things with BMWs engineering when there are OTS parts that work, are cheaper, and easier to get replacements if (When) things break.
