Have you tracked the car with that set-up? Noticed any effect of that stagger?

I'm glad to hear stg1 turbo works great for you as a owner myself You seem to be one of few who do track with piggyback. It's of good value to hear your real world based opinion on Dinan difference especially consistency wise than other piggybacks.

BTW, ever consider dyno your car once again as Dinantronic has been properly "broken in"? I myself like Dinan approach a lot - not to crack up boost early on just for the feel of push you back to seat, add power at middle and upper range where it really matters.

Thanks for providing your experience with the stage 4. I'm basically getting it installed in two weeks also. I say basically because I already have installed a Fabspeed sport cat downpipe and MPE so won't be getting the Dinan exhaust. IC, cold air, dinantronics stage 4 and turbo on order from a local speed shop. Looking forward to waking this thing up!

No additional lag at all.

Wait till you hear the sound though. With the MPE, you may piss off the neighbors!

Exactly what I wanted to hear and that was my only concern with these upgrades. Well that and getting another set of tires ordered!

Whoops! Didn't see where you had already installed it. I'm running the stock exhaust and my neighbor says he can hear me a block away. Screw him.

I am planning an M2 in the near future (having trouble parting with my beloved Dinan S2 135), and would be very interested in the Dinan P2 package (not the full S4 because I won't need the suspension bits).
This will be a daily driver, and I was wondering if you think the power package would be "too much' (if there is such a thing) for daily driving street use (I don't track).

If thats a concern just revert the software to stock mode and there is no problems.

Is the software user-switchable? I know it's a "piggyback" unit, so maybe - I'm used to the flash-and-forget of my S2 flash tune.

Anyway, I doubt I'd do that, because at that point, what's the point of spending the thousands of $$ just to revert back to stock mode?

I'd love the power for spirited driving - just concerned if I'm going to be constantly spinning tire in stop-and-go commuter traffic (either that or wearing out the clutch by riding it too much for smoother launches).

App adjustable. Perfect drivability on the street in Stage 4. When you nail it, it flies.

Even a 1000 HP Supra isn't too much. It's all about throttle modulation
