But going that route vs a tune, downpipes on an already factory boosted car is very different in terms of cost and complexity, especially if you are like me and do most of the work yourself.
I know what you meen and I hope I don't sound rude for saying this, but I don't agree with you! First of, installing a VT1 is really not that complex and second, I'd be surprise if you could get close to that amount of power without changing the turbos on the S55, wich will probably be far more expensive and complex! Hopefully I'm wrong on this one because I would love to own a M3/M4 in a couple of years but not if it ain't any faster then my current E92, specially since I would already have to give up on the S65 sublime sound!
