Injectors failing and rubber coupling hoses cracking/breaking. The injector job can be a very pricey one.

I understand the TU motor is better than its original N63 predecessor but I really don't want to go down that road again.

Also, I'm not looking for something to scorch the asphalt, but I would like to tune it. Nothing too crazy. Are people using JB4's still or are there better solutions like Racechip/BM3/DME tuning? I think if I had a nice tune and downpipes, I'd be more than satisfied.
