That's annoying. What's the chance of beating porsche hk up to get this done for u, say something like abt the danger u might face if the engine overheats and u get stranded on China highway.

So, what would make any sense to mod a car?
I think your car can sell at 150-170K if you don't mind those time wasters. If you need to let it go in a hurry (to trade in to dealer for example), then selling price will suffer. i.e. time is money.

That's why I am just contemplating, nothing solid.

Power Box costs around HK$2,500 and only 10+ More Horsepower & 10+ More lb-ft Torque. Not even 5% increase.

Buy that's a heavy mod and would hurt engine, tranny will need mod as well.
The comments from bmwfans club, one of RC mentioned product was mighty.
They said that 325 could become 330 immediately
(just my limited knowledge, welcome to advise more info)
I really doubt it. 325 to 330 immediately.

Any reference?

As Ken said, this might void warranty. Any of you guys can confirm. I'm not rushing and can do it after warranty period.

Ak can do miles better than that.
Give him a call after 2.30pm
3k is for the plasma ground with installation, not installation cost.
