This is what arises my "doubt". It seems that most tuners here does an Ecu tune and not a box that fools the Ecu to think the boost is at a much lower level than it actually is and I am wondering if that might be why so many are experiencing the problems that seems to be presented here. Then again, it would be interesting to do a poll - how many has a broken pipe and what kind of tune do they have. Just trying to find some answers and learn.

why argue with what has been said? i have an m135i iv blown two plastics charge pipes and the car was stock then. my brother has a m235i and has blown 1 charge pipe car is stock as well and both cars have 40000km on them. i replaced mine when i went FBO its so easy to do when fitting the cooler.
to correct you, You also state the European tuners ecu tune the car(while there are a lot that do) and not a box that fools the ecu.... of the ones you mentioned ac schnitzer and manhart both use plug and play systems?
