X5 5.0 Power Upgrades

I am soon to finalize my order (no ordering guide yet that I know of) on a 2011 X5, but am looking for some advice:
I always told myself that once the TT from the 335 was available in the X5 I would get that as assumedly some of the mods for that engine would also be available, allowing for almost 400hp. This would give better than 4.8 performance, for a lower price.
That said, I'm quite sure I'm going to go with the 5.0 TT as, well, I like power, and the added luxury. My concern though is that I have yet to find any mods available to give the 5.0 TT similar boosts as what the 3.5TT has. Is anyone aware of mods for this engine?
I would hate to know someone can mod (for relatively little) their 3.5TT to have nearly as much power as the 5.0, when similar mods aren't available for the 5.0.
I would assume it's only a matter of time as there has to be lots of potential in a TT V8, but was hoping someone had something concrete to offer.
Thanks for the help.

Give it a few more months. Someone will do it soon if they havent already. Hopefully Terry will eventually work on the TT V8. But for now its just N54, N55, and the diesels that he's gonna be working with.
