Great review, but I would be interested in knowing 0-60 times and possibly how this setup compares with the 335i, e46 M3, mod e36 M3, etc. off the line.

I need to find my GTech Pro RR, lol. Still, it is subjective since launch and from-stop accels are totally dependant on the driver skill. I would think rolling start comparisons will be more fair.

rolling start comparisons would be equally appreciated.:)

I love my VT, but I'm sure that TS is in another league. Your review is awesome and so is your website. Couldn't live without it.:bow:

MarvelPhx,
If I got the TS1 and upgraded to the TS2 at a later date, in your opinion, would I be able to add the intercooler without removing the TS1 manifold/blower? Looking at your DIY it looks like it would be possible. Also, would it require a reflash of the DME?

I think you would at least have to unbolt it from the head to get clearance behind the oil filter canister to insert the Laminovas and replace the end tanks. And since the boost jumps quite a bit from TS1 I am sure you would need a software update.
