I wouldnt rule that out so soon, just because most turbo swaps are singles on both platforms doesn't mean the m2 won't ever get aftermarket twins, for all we know the m4's turbos could very well bolt up to the m2, or be modified to.

You think more people do single swaps on the N54 and S55 vs. upgraded twins (RB, Pure, etc.)? Yeah right.

Who knows...you're right...

But there is a reason no one is doing twin swaps for the current N55...maybe the S55's turbos are the answer if they indeed share a block...but the cost of everything else needed may make it unfeasible, as it has in the past.

I was referring to n55 and n54 when I said both platforms. You stated that you could not imagine anyone doing a twin swap and I'm saying I would not rule that out so soon, pretty simple.
