some people say it'll jack up the turbos because the 535/335 likes to see the back pressure other people have said it's fine. those who say it'll jack up the turbo i find it odd the car doesnt throw an error code before it actually screws the turbos up but i don't know. personally i wouldnt do it.

The risk of damaging the turbo system in some way, how exactly I don't know, seems greater than the return in performance. What about warranty issues? IMHO I would steer clear. 2 cents.

Thanks for the input guys. My decision is made.. 
I wouldn't wanna risk any damage to the turbo, especially on a leased car.
