Interesting that they dont think the stock internals are good for 700hp+ without changes.

Think of it this way...since Dinan is likely to provide a warranty matching BMW's...they want the customer to help mitigate warranty claims on upgraded turbos by reinforcing the engine internals. So in that sense I don't blame them for asking the customer to fork over the extra cash to go 750+hp. As opposed to doing intake, tune and exhaust on turbos for 660hp, they must still feel confident in the reliability of the engine internals at that power level...
