the 3 stage manifold must be done first (this alone has shown to gain 10WHP dyno proven) which i have the DIY on somewhere on the forum. the parts i bought off www.car-part.com from a junk yard off a low milage X3 SI, the part cost was $200 including the acuators
so i see it being under a grand all said and done if parts are bought used.

parts you would need new from the dealer if you choose to not buy used or no parts are available are:

New parts from dealer----

part# 11617559523 manifold $586
part# 11617579114 ajuster unit $186
part# 11617560538 ajuster unit $186
-------------------------------
Total $958
+
ECU = ?

everything else can be swaped from your single stage manifold

so buying the parts new from the dealer would cost a bit more


i could see ESS selling the manifold and the DISA valves with programming as a kit but i dont know how they will go about it, im just speculating.

I have no idea what price ESS will want for the programming but i cant see it being out of line with what else they charge for ECU programming time will tell.
