So can we retrofit our M96 engines with cheap Japanese production car parts?

Dunno about you guys in USA and CA but here most of the street ricers owning Japanese cars uses NOS systems. Not all but a lot of them anyway (NOS are cheap kit here now). I can see their bright bleu anodized NOS bottle standing right there next to their hand brake level, center console, showing off and all. Never heard about a Jap car breaking down alone because of NOS boost

Are our German made cars really 'that' cheaper that Jap prod cars? Different compression ratio is what cause the issues maybe, higher rev? what is it?
