Spend the extra $$$ and go with the M3SC you can still do 5PSI but the intercoolers are all the difference.

The drives will be disposable plan on an upgrade I would suggest B-Max. The most dependable bolt on for the money. My $.02.

I had the M1's sitting around in boxes with no apparent home for them. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't do it at all. The AW-162 intercoolers are quite small.
