And, what is the cost of the setup? I have the intake and exhaust, but no software. How is the Dinan software compensating for the nitrous? Do I need it or if you could do it again would you forgo the software and run the OEM ecu?

The cost of which setup? The nitrous? The hard costs for nitrous system was around $2k.
The Dinan software doesn't "directly" compensate for the nitrous, but the cars computer does. Because I have an iPad connected to my cars OBD II port, when I spray nitrous I can actually see the car adjust timing and fuel curves to compensate. The cars computer is always trying to optimize the AFR with or without nitrous which is really cool. I would recommend the Dinan software. Besides being optimized for the intake, it gives you better throttle response, faster shift points and removes the top speed governor.

Great write up and setup, very intriguing. LOL, I haven't posted here in a while, but I had to check this out. I am still having the internal debate as to whether I want/need the supercharger, so presenting alternatives is great.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I thought about getting an EES supercharger, but the price ($9k installed) seemed WAY too steep for this kind of car. At that price I may as well trade up and get an M5 I thought. I spent about $2k in parts for my nitrous system... However, since I was charting "new" territory, there was a TON of time planing, designing and installing the kit. Overall, I'm very happy with the results though.
