No man, I talked a lot to Terry lately, there is a difference between the n63 tune and s63tu tune. They are similar, but not identical. For m5/m6 engines there is a difference in PSI and something else. So if you want to buy one for your car, make sure to ask Terry to program it for S63tu, as it requires a little more boost.
terry@burgertuning.com he replies fast

PS Yes it is a piggy back, my local BMW installed it for me (apparently it was super easy), and there is a huge noticeable difference, especially with all these performance parts
It's actually the same device for both motors , the S63 TU has a different T map sensor than the N63 with a different baseline value . So you have to change the baseline value the piggyback alters or you will run more boost than you intend to . ( the piggyback changes the signal from the sensor to trick the ECU into running approx 2 psi more boost . It does nothing else . The OEM ECU makes changes in timing and fueling to prevent detonation , which after it gets used to things makes more power . This works up to a certain point . To make more than approx 630whp on street gas you need full control of timing and fueling . Terry or anyone else is a good ways from that unfortunately . You're car looks great and great choice of mods . Remember though ,individual gains from mods are not additive , and certainly you can't take other peoples best gains and add then together. With what you've done I would expect 630whp so low 700's crank hp . Still it's a beast congrats !
