People half ass them all the time to save money(just look on ebay)! I'm not saying half ass the system. I'm saying that most people will not consider that vanos will effect the turbo. A non-Vanos engine will be easier to tune w/ cams and easier to produce a more predictable boost due to the consistency of the power curve. Unless you tune the Vanos (which I bet more then 50% of people who turbo there BMW do NOT) then I think it is pointless to get a vanos motor. I've seen m50 non vanos engines w/ low boost produce over 400hp
