Do you have to cut that one bracket? Did you use a cutter or just pry it open?

I need to order one soon.

Any sound clips? Do you notice more turbo noise?

No cutting involved. All plug and play. They have the instructions for install on the website. It was super easy!
I work from home and haven't driven the car the last two days. Def wish I woulda drove it more recently to have a more realistic comparison… but seems to sound decent. Nothing too wild. Overall I def don't regret the purchase. Looks OEM+. If ya got the money to burn, I wouldn't hesitate.

I should have called it a "clamp" here at the 3:29 mark. That holds the tube to the turbo inlet. Dinan has cut in the m340 directions and kies has break with a screw driver.

Oh… yea my bad. I just used a screwdriver to pop it off. The instructions did say cut, but it pops off fairly easy with a screwdriver. Didn't need to use a pick. Didn't wanna risk cutting something I shouldn't.

I noticed you opted for the lid with the indent for the braces.

Do you plan to add the Dinan braces? I was always curious why BMW removed those stock braces.

Looks great, I plan to add intake + braces soon as well!

Just ordered the brace version. Will add some braces soon as well!
