It took me maybe 40 min? Most time consuming for me was getting the weather stripping lined. I then had my dealer do the rivet when I went in for stage 2.

Correct. No "snow valve" = no rivets! I would guess an hour w/o that step.

One thing I forgot to mention about the "cold weather" package if you have it; from the Dinan installation PDF, there's this statement:
"...*Please note that removal of the snow valve may affect engine performance in extreme winter conditions...." I knew this in advance, but wasn't concerned because I'll be storing the car during the winter, consequently I didn't ask Dinan what the possible effects could be during the winter...just something to be aware of before you purchase/install.

I reverted to stock airbox with AFE dry drop-in and AFE ram air scoop - works just fine with HFC DP and JB4 stage 2 on my EWG car. I would seriously consider this Dinan AI if there are independently proven gains for cars running higher boost etc compared to stock setup...... Also an independent comparison with AFE closed AI would be good - AFE are claiming similar gains as Dinan for 100 bucks less. Its whether or not folks think the Dinan CF tube is worth spending the extra $$$ for. http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...202&brandID=56

Chaddy - you bet.
After EWG board swap, back to dyno to fettle map 6. At the crank, 375+BHP from 4500-7000rpm and 400+lbft torque from 1500-5000 rpm. Lol quick, ha ha ha .

I ordered mine on April 24th and received it May 22nd. I'm in Canada, so that added a week for sure for customs clearance etc. I think Dinan is saying there's about a 4 week wait from time of order to shipping. I think the notice is on their site.

If I was going with a dinan tune this would be a no brainer. Wonder how it pairs up with a JB4?

On a side note, I spoke to my BMW service department Dinan Dealer and he hinted he could possibly get sooner than that 6 - 8 weeks. All the 3/4 owners are gobbling these up.

They sure do look the goods thats for sure ! Darkhold is pushing some pretty big numbers on his stage two turbo configuration .... and the stock airbox isn't the restriction. In fact i think the stock airbox netted better vbox repeatable data, that said it was compared to the BMS open intake . I hope there are solid gains on the Dinan intake as I will absolutely buy one if it makes sense.

that's one of the mean features I like about the JB4, adaptions of standard maps, custom map and full autotune map. I'm in no doubt Dina AI would work v well with a JB4.BP

The increased amount of air feeds into a larger volume airbox complete with a larger filter that elicits a sporty tone that makes the intake sound as good as it performs.You can actually here the turbo spooling sound. Music to my ears.
