Pure Stage 2 dyno results & build thread

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Figured it was time to share some results and start a thread. Hopefully I can help a fellow M2er out. Any questions let me know!

Story:
Ever since I took delivery of my DCT M2 back in November 2016, I knew I had serious plans for it. The turbo 6 was a big part of why I decided on the M2. I broke my planned mods into 4 phases. First was the cosmetic stuff which I completed before I took the car to the clear bra & ceramic pro shop. Second was the performance phase which I wanted to complete as quickly as possible after the break in period... (the mods don't get cheaper so I figured I would want to enjoy them for as long as possible ) Third will be tires, brakes, and suspension. The fourth phase was my dreamer phase...maybe Pure Stage 2.

Right around the time I really stared putting my performance mods list together proTUNING Freaks released their bootmod3 beta for the F series. My previous car was a FBO NA BRZ so I was comfortable with flashing and was pretty certain it would be the way to go for my M2. Through researching bootmod3 I found out about SSR Performance. Although they were 400 miles away I wanted to get everything done to my car in one stop and have my DME unlocked/flashed by the bootmod3 specialist. Through talking to them about my plans I was blown away by their customer service and eagerness to help me. So over the holidays I decided to make the trip down to Southern California and get this mod list done.
- DME unlock and bootmod3 flash
- Eventuri intake
- Pure inlet
- ER Downpipe
- Wagner Evo 2 comp intercooler (I wanted HUGE and light without cutting)
- FTP hardpipes (GREAT fitment)
- DV+

Curveball:
Unfortunately after getting there I found out that I supplied the wrong DV+. All M2 DV+ need to be modified to fit. Because I was already in Southern California I reached out to Pure Turbos to see if they could help me out. I figured I would drive over there, grab the correct DV+ and get it installed. Long story short, after some encouragement and amazing willingness to absorb a huge workload from SSR Performance... I ended up purchasing the Pure Turbos Stage 2 kit . The stories you have heard about Pure Turbos are all true. Their garage is a freaking lab and they have AWESOME customer service. SSR Performance literally worked through the night and completed the entire build in less than one day. These guys didn't sleep, stepped up huge, and did an awesome job

Happy:
From the moment I drove away from SSR Performance, the Pro Tuning Freaks team has been amazing to work with. After rounds of logging and map revisions I am currently running their version 5 Pure Stage 2 93oct map. Every single revision has had noticeable increases in both power and smoothness. These guys have developed an incredibly polished flashing and logging solution. We knew going into it that the dreaded N55 HPFP on pump gas would be the bottleneck. As you will see in the results below, 6k+ the car is running out of fuel. Once I decide on either an E85 or meth solution I am excited to see what Pro Tuning Freaks can squeeze out of my build

Results:
Regrettably, I didn't do a baseline dyno on my car. BUT IND did share their baseline DCT-M2-93oct 5th gear pull on dynojet with me. 336hp and 371tq. THANK YOU IND! My results below are DCT-M2-93oct doing a 5th gear pull also on a dynojet. 436hp and 565tq, 100hp and 194tq gained! 2nd gear is an absolute joke, 3rd gear I'm struggling for traction
