I am new to M2 tuning and need some advice. I have a stock 2017 M2 6MT with the following.

• RKP CF Spoiler, Diffuser, Lip
• CF Mirrors + sequential lights
• M Performance electronic wheel
• Michelin PS4S 255/275

I am now focusing on performance mods. Here is what I have and need to install.

• FI Valvetronic Exhaust
• Fabspeed Sport Cat DP (sourcing new or used)
• FTP CP & BP (V2)
• VRSF HD IC

No real plans for this car other than making it faster and feeding my affliction.

Any thoughts from the board on this setup and what my next steps should be?

1. Install - Advice or things to watch out for?
2. Tune - I assume I will need one. Recommendations? BM3 or something else?
3. Plugs - OEM or NGK 97506 with 0.020" gap?
4. What gains should I expect from this setup?
5. Future mods / considerations? Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance.

Should I upgrade the BOV while I have everything removed?

1. You have to look through the forum posts for answers. I don't remember all that off the top of my head, and even if I did, I wouldn't take the time to write it all out when it's already documented here.

2. BM3 is my preference and the best in it's class, I think. Though if you go larger turbo and different fueling, MHD or ecutek may be better, but I haven't got that far yet.

3. Plugs fine

4. ~400hp/450tq at wheel.

You're not looking hard enough

Bootmod3 + GFB DV+ + Spark plugs + the mods you listed and you are all set

You'll be a the M2C power level

Thanks Mike!

Regarding plugs. Is this what I need?

Looking forward to the IC you just shipped. I will add these other items to my list.

I have pretty much the same except different brands of parts with BM3 stage 2 and I'm happy with my power. After this, that where the big $$$ parts come into play.

Correct

1. Install - Try set aside a day for FBO install at the same time, it will be a much easier process
2. Tune - BM3 is good
3. NGK 97506 with 0.020" gap - Perfect
4. 390+whp depending on octane
5. I personally wouldn't go more than FBO and a tune. You will be paying more for less and also sacrificing reliability. If you really want more after FBO, I would just get a different car.
