Theres a guy with an iS with procede V5 already. not sure but he told me that it feels stronger tho.
Both the Procede and the JB4 have to reduce boost in the shift otherwise there is slippage (and hence a slippage-delay) from excess torque when the clutch engages during gear changes. With a tune and intake we'll be fine, but with fbo's and more boost there will be a need for an upgrade.

There was a thread about it here on e90, but I cant find it anymore. There is some discussion of it here: http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11135

Its something to keep in mind. I'm posting this for the benefit of those considering high HP mods.
