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...
Reasonable thought process. Dinan always over engineers their upgrades but Steve is a hell of an engineer and his products speak for themselves. Lets just see what comes out.
