90 to 100 hp gain from a chip?! Dare I say, Holy CHIP! That sounds massive.
An exhaust would be in the cards somewhere in the future, eventhough I havent even ordered my car yet, that gets done tomorrow  Some fat exhaust tip will be a must have aswell. I want garden pot diameter tips!!

Turbocharged vehicles are the ones that stand to benefit most from ECU tunes ("chips"). Fundamentally, the boost is "turned up", for more power. I believe that they (Juice Box, anyway), tricks the car into thinking it is running at higher altitude, and thus the boost gets turned up by the ECU. Normally aspirated engines don't have this luxury, and as such, the tuner has only to play around with fuel:air ratios, valve timing, etc., often for less gain in horsepower. 90-100 HP from a vehicle that already has 555 turbocharged HP is not THAT much of an increase. With the BMW 335i N54 engine (base HP - 300), they are getting 450hp+, with massive torque  But really - let's be honest. You need that

i don't think its appropriate to be referencing "garden pots"...
if this were a japanese vehicle forum, then the rice bowls would do...but seeing as how we're german, i think we have to go with beer stein diameter tips..

Yeah those RPI guys are pretty smart. Big ups to them for always PROVING their product which doesnt go for most performance mods out there. I would urge ppl to check out their products.

RPI is such a smart choice. I could have done Eisenmann, Meister, ASR or Dinan for my M and I chose RPI. Most of the Eisenmann owners in the Tri-State Area have heard my RPI set-up and loved how much better it sounded and how well the car pulled compared to theirs.
On top of that, RPI's customer service is far superior and the best I've ever dealt with. That's probably because you deal directly with the owner himself, not a distributor. Oh, and prior to RPI, I had Supersprint. That system lasted about a month.
