The only people still smiling when the turbo or engine fails on these cars are the guys selling the gear that made the car fail. BMW may give the benefit of the doubt if the car has not traceable changes but when you limp into the service department with taped up wires, catless downpipes, giant intercooler, no OEM airbox, a boost gauge on your dash; don't expect them to believe that your engine failure is their problem.

I can relate to this as well Swift 135, which is why I mentioned undetectable "on the un-clipping and re-clipping side of things" as well as ecu logs with a piggy back set up !
From what I already know Xede has such a set up for the Mazda MPS 3...it plugs in neatly - no wire splicing or cutting - that's a definite NO NO for me too :wink: and I would be embarrassed/silly to rock up at a service centre with that kind of damage to wiring and expect them to just ignore it...
I've heard Xede do have something for the N54 as well, but havn't found anything on here yet about it...
Can anyone here elaborate...once again apologies if it's mentioned somewhere already, I'm noob to this forum :smile:
