    That was fast. VIP already has an exhaust for the R60 that they tell me is selling fast.

    Installed mine a couple days ago. Really liking the response on the car with the change. Had a couple mods to make on the install (electrical connection wasn't quite right) and had to get creative about placement of the solenoid, but otherwise install was smooth.

    I have one on my R56. I'm happy with it overall. I did have a problem a couple months ago. I was getting fluctuations in boost under load. Traced it to the threaded ring on this valve being loose. Seems like it can loosen up over time due to thermal cycling and vibration. If it gets loose, it can affect the MAP sensor reading. I recommend checking it periodically to make sure it is tight.
