Oh wow, I didnt know the S55 charge piping all fit PnP style too. Having to get a BOV adapter welded in is child's play imo compared to a lot of stuff all of us already have done to our cars. What size are the hotside charge pipes/turbo outlets for the S55? If they're sufficiently sized for upgraded twins then getting an adapter for whatever turbos you want to run also sounds pretty easy imo, otherwise even custom fabbed pipes sound easy since the piping is so much shorter.
@Hydra Performance , knowing that, is the 450hp thing the only reason you're choosing to skip the S55 cooler? I'm not up on the current gen M3/M4 modding scene to be fair, but do all those high HP, 9-10sec S55s usually run one of the $2000 upgraded charge coolers? I'd have to imagine with the S55s capabilities after a tune and two-three bolt ons theres a good chunk of people pushing 5-600whp on the stock heat exchanger? Is the MB one you picked that much more efficient, or what is your reasoning for going that route?
Filippo, have you taken a look at the controller Omar linked in the previous post? I just gave it a quick peek and it sounds like it may be exactly what you and Barry are looking for in regards to cooling for the track. How it'd interact with the DME I have no idea (I didnt read the instructions or anything, just glanced over the features and selling points) but if you dont get limp mode codes from using it to "hijack" the WP and fan it sounds like an easy solution for better maintaining target temps and could be adjusted back down for DDing as well. Maybe I read it wrong, but it certainly sounded like what you're looking for - though I dont know if it can control our MAP thermostat too or not. Maybe that's where the Mishimoto low temp thermostat swap could come into play since the DME should technically treat it as if it were the higher temp thermo, no?
