No seriously most people say get the BMS DCI because bang for buck cannot be beat. Less than 9 degrees isn't that much of a reduction for the price you could take that money and put it towards a meth kit. You do not fit into the normal category with a normal budget mr. single turbo upgrade. Chances are you will always be looking for ways to improve efficiency's and pick up the few HP that isn't really worth the hassle or cost doing things that others most likely wouldn't.

Actually didn't cost me anything cause I got a deal on it and sold my old exhaust for about the same. I have no problem admitting that my dumb ass will be spending a lot of money doing and trying things that I think are more efficient approaches to something. But that doesn't seem to be the consensus around here it's quick, cheap and easy for most.

How about dci plus scoops vs cai
I believe they would almost be identical because your ramimg colder air into the bay while cruising anyways, and it's still much cheaper
