Do you know how much the Dinan Stage 3 costs?

Default No..

..but I'm guessing that it's a grand or two MORE than the SIII? Not really a good comparison here...becuase Dinan includes a nice factory warranty...thus you can expect it to be more $$$. APR may warranty theirs as well...but I would imagine it only goes so far. Someday...your dealer might sell an APR upgrade...someday

Default Close... $8000. [m]

That's for a supercharger kit. It takes the old US M3's from 250 hp to 325 hp.

True, but APR adds more hp for less then HALF the price of Dinan. What would you go with?

Default wow, $8K, eh? damn. one thing I really like about APR's warranty

is the manifold. To quote Brett in an old post, you can do anything short of melting it down in a blast furnace and they'll replace it for free. It simply will not crack. I believe the Garrett has a one-year/unlimited mileage warranty.

Dinan includes a Dinan warranty that is honored at some dealerships.

Can we say 265 lb. ft of trq at 2500, APR may add more PEAK hp and trq.
