Dinan vs VF Eng.

I'm trying to decide which S/C is better between these too.
I've looked at the VF Engineering S/C stage 1 that says it produces 350hp wit 285torque while the Dinan says they show results of 340hp and 304torque. I was wondering which one is more recommended by people.

dinan is always good stuff (covered under BMW warranty), but is over priced.

Ive heard good things from VF, plus their product is priced lower than dinan.

its matter of preference i guess

yeah dinan really is overpriced,
but comparing the power that each of the 2 (VF vs. Dinan), is VF the best deal?

There is no Stage 2 for the Vf-Engineering stuff...so if you want more power later on (and you will) go with Dinan, or Active Autowerks. I went with VF-E and found myself creating my own stage 2 package.

+1.....there is NO STAGE II and you're going to want more power eventually! Dinan or AA

Dinan is overpriced, but they really do make QUALITY products. You can't go wrong with Dinan (if you have the money to do so).

Both companies use Vortech Products.
I have found RMS to have good quality products also.
