My experience of Evolve is that they are actually pretty conservative in terms of boost, prefering to work with timing (and I guess other stuff - I'm sure Evolve will correct me if I've got it wrong ) to maximise torque, and not pushing the curve to get as puch power out as possible - and believe me, I've asked them to, but they refused. I ran my 135i for over 60k miles with an Evolve remap - no issues.

And don't worry - he's not a guinea pig - I've been running the Evolve tune on my 1M for over 10k miles....
