Ive been contemplating upgrading to these. Can you feel a more consistent boost?
Since my install I think personally I have less lag when I turned up my boost. I think it was b/c my OEM DV's we're leaking due to damage and causing a spike between shifts. I think they react 50something times faster than a blink of an eye and they prevent boost leaks,". It's far better of a design then the OEM DV's.

I would order them before you pull your stocks ones off (if you have never before that is) because chances are that you won't be able to put them back together. My OEM DV's fell apart into pieces so definitely worth the purchase. Don't quote me on this, but I believe if you don't like them within the 30 days of purchasing them then you can return them minus the shipping and taxes.

The sound is 10 times louder then the stock ones though. Far better design and construction though, I would it's a must for all N63's and really all BMW models.
