Easy reliable and cheap

Define your terms.  Easy, reliable and cheap mean very different things to different people.  "Reasonably quick" is also a very rubbery term.

It's very simple though without changing the turbo.  You can perhaps get up to ~200rwkW (depending on the dyno!) on the stocker, but you won't do it well without an intercooler and you won't do it at all on stock management.  You need to have a way to dial out the horrible R&R that the R33 ECU will cripple you with if you try.

30-40HP is in the realms of possibility without changing anything - just adding boost.  But stock boost is 7 psi and the limit is not much more than 10 before the ECU starts to rape you from behind.

It's not exactly same same with an R33 RB25, but my Neo is stock.  I have a bigger cooler, good dump pipe and ~12 psi.  And Nistune.  Without the tuneability I would not be able to run that much boost.  It started to get evil at 10.  On a sensible DD dyno mine did ~190rwkW recently, on 98.  There's not a lot more available without risking breaking the turbo.  Anything more serious requires at least a turbo, and an AFM or a complete new ECU to get rid of the AFM, and injectors.

R33s suck for ECU.  You have to get an ECU from another model (Z32 or R32 typically) and put a Nistune board in that, because the R33 ECU is a stupid orphan that even Nissan don't love.  Work on it being >$1000 to get an ECU into it and turned.  Turning the boost up costs very little. You just need a cheap boost controller.  A decent (electronic) boost controller will cost you a few hundred.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
