If you have 5k to spare needlessly.... I mean all that extra money might as well save it for warranty repairs if you just get a piggy back or flash....

Probably just Dinan Stage 2 and save $1k+. With the MPPK, the most noticeable thing will be more pops and snaps from the exhaust and a bit more torque.

The data on the Dinan website is shown on separate graphs with different scales. I needed to see it all in one place to make the comparison.

Depends on your power goals and your budget.

The MPPK flash tune is putting out +1 to 2 more psi peak boost.

Seems like the biggest difference (that you would notice) are the torque figures down low in the RPM. MPPK + Dinan Stage 2 are quite a bit higher than just Dinan Stage 2.

As I picked up my car from the lot that already had MPPK installed (and thus worked into my lease) adding Dinan on top to me makes sense since I don't own the car and want to avoid any warranty/issues when giving it back to the dealer. Also to me its worth it over the next couple years that I'll have the car.

However if you already own the vehicle I would honestly save the money and go with some other reputable aftermarket companies and the money left over will cover the cost of something that breaks and warranty does not cover - but if you do it right I really doubt anything will break soon.
