i assume you had straight rods and not the curved/offset rods? what year is your truck?

Bonus hits in two weeks... so now I have a difficult decision on my plate:

Should I upgrade the X5M manifold and turbos to M5 while the build is taking place?

With that in mind a few questions to those of you versed in this upgrade strategy:

1. Is this investment worth it? Should I put focus on S63TU manifolds and turbos instead?

2. Anyone completed the Pure stage 1 or 2 upgrade?

3. Anyone know of a tuner that can successfully tune any of this to max power?

4. What happens if I bolt these up, but don't get a tune?

5. Has anyone successfully completed this upgrade yet?

6. Has anyone mated the M5 intercoolers to the X platform? Is there room? Is heat soak going to be a problem on the original ICs?

Thanks in advance!!!
