m5james, do you have a build thread for your truck, I hear you're running pure stage 2? Any luck on the M5 turbo manifold, etc?
I was slightly intimidated initially by the JB4 install, but having done it once, I'd say it can be done in an hour...it's actually quite easy and has been totally worth it.

I should start a build thread but I'd wanna see an example so I can make sure I'm doing it right :-) I'm not running Pure stage 2's yet since allmotor2000 (F10 M5 owner who was in the 9's) sold them when he sold his car, so I'm back to square one. I'm currently running what's on my signature below. I've got an x-pipe, Vibrant 1794 resonators, a dual catch san setup and M5 headers still sitting in boxes...The first two I'll install before Bimmerfest in June, the last two I probably won't do until I source another set of turbos. My next step is to be adding meth and adjusting the JB4 for that.
