To add I did inquire about the syvecs and AMS performance quoted me 6200$ which was an insane markup from the 3200 euros quoted from their initial release. Didn't even respond back because of that absurdity. If you can source one for 3200 it's more than worth it!!!!

There's no (USD) pricing on there.

That £3.200,00 is incredibly misleading because that's ONLY the S6+ EMS. The $6,500 pricing (which is the "norm" pricing for the GTR--two less cylinder--package from AMS or ETS) is more accurate since it includes the necessaries (i.e., wiring harness and sensors). Now that you've picked all the hardware, you need someone to tune it which comes with even more variables (e.g., who's tuning, what features you want, their experience tuning that particular setup, any unexpected bugs that popup). This can be even more difficult on less developed platforms like the E9x M3. Case and point is Anthony Taylor; he arranged for Ryan Griffiths (UK) and Wayne Potts (Dubai) to tune the Syvecs on his insane 997.1 Turbo. End of the day, you really don't want to cut corners and try to save money on your tuner. Yes, the newer standalones--AEM Infinity, ProEFI, Syvecs S6/S6+/S8, Motec M1--generally come with "base maps" for a particular car and because they're VE-based tuning solutions the process goes much faster, but I'd say $4,000 is a conservative estimate.

So yes, an "out-the-door" Syvecs setup probably nets you around $10k.

For the S6 Plug and Play E92 m3 kit they quoted 5500$. Than added fuel sensor, bar map sensor and wifi sensor coming out to 6300$. Syvecs quoted the pricing on their kit on their website at release at 3200 euros. Their is clearly a massive mark up from AMS.

Sorry, I meant Facebook page not website. And the pricing was for their plug and play kit.

I was referring to cloning the S65 EKP and having the Ecu does all the work but that didn't work in the early stages of testing.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Nah, I'd straight up run the S85 EKP. The units are virtually identical physically, and the EKP determines when to activate the second pump, as you mentioned.

I'm curious as to what g-power ended up doing to provide the fuel necessary for their twin supercharged, 1001hp E60 M5.
