Now...the N20...that's sort of another story...

Google GSR N20 failure, or N20 failure in general. People pushing 350+ ftlbs have lunched these motors.

Pushing it too hard has shown it's not as strong as some of BMW's other motor offerings. But again, with a mild tune like the Dinan, I don't think it's an issue.

If you're power hungry, you're much better off starting with an N55.
I have an N20, good information, thanks.
