Yeah, the turbo manifold. Someone was annoyed at the cost of 330i manifolds and tried it. The 330 manifold makes more torque, but the N54 makes more power. And the N54 doesn’t lose torque vs. the standard 328 crappy manifold.

I assume using the n54 manifold also means there's no need to get an ECU flash since there's no 3 stage system to operate? Great idea.

A flash is critical to getting the gains.

People are fucking weird. I don't get the appeal at all.
For 6 Grand, sure. For 30 Grand? What are these people smoking? |

Now... take a vanilla RWD E90 wagon, stuff an S62 in it, and that would be an interesting car.
