You need to re-read what I said. The DCT is going to lose some of its advantage. The M3 stock and S/C has a peaky powerband, max power isn't achieved until max rpm. With a turbo kit like this, max power is achieved earlier and it holds that power level out. The DCT allows the car to stay higher up in the powerband longer/more often.

I'm not a 6MT fanboy, I like both transmissions equally; the 6MT was better for my needs and I find it more fun to drive. If I just wanted a fast car, the M3 would not be the platform I chose.
