We're pretty close guys. The 545 and 550 scoops are able to be mounted on the top tab (step). The next step is to dyno test again and see if these mounting/installation changes will result in hp.

Good news. 545i scoops are good to go. We did SEVERAL dyno runs (Navin watched) with the hood closed and we got 7-10wtq and 4-7whp in the low and midrange. Joe will post the dyno graph shortly.
