G31 / LCI M550i intercooler upgrades?

Wondering if such a thing exists for the most recent versions of the M550i?
I see that Dinan offers an intercooler upgrade, but it would appear that it is targeted at previous (pre-2020) models of the M550i here: https://www.dinancars.com/products/e...arts/D330-0017

Would this intercooler upgrade: 1) fit a 2022 G31/LCI, and 2) would it be an actual upgrade to the stock configuration?

If not, is there anyone out there selling an intercooler upgrade? Or is it just not a weak spot and upgrading it won't help you make more power (when tuned)?

Not aware of anyone having charge temp issues on stock turbos for the N63 TU3. How much boost are you running?

I don't think this exists yet; once these are pushing serious power, the stock cooling will no longer be enough, and we will see aftermarket coolers being offered,

Got it.
Thanks for the replies. Not running excess boost (yet).
Simply wondered if I could "upgrade" my cooling solution prior to swapping in pure turbos, catless downpipes and a tune. Sounds like I should do those first and then figure out if I have a heat problem?
