How come, what are the extra costs associated?

The largest cost is the ECU (more than the going rate for a complete S50 kit), no £150 ews deletes here.

Having done an S50, I would agree from a performance point of view.

Although, I personally think the S50 suits the E30 engine bay better - I think the S54 looks too new for the E30.
