So my guess is .25 of a second different with just swapping the maps with out the DP swap yet. My guess is I'll pick up .5 of a second when I do the dp's same weather conditions. BTW for shits of it I added 3 gallons of E85 and filled the rest up with 93 and ran a 9.13, thats with stock dp's and 2500da/100 percent humidity/88 degrees lol. She'd be running in the 8's for sure with out any hardware changed on stage 2 93 file with some ethanol in good weather for sure.

Man, that’s pretty good!! Great numbers for sure. These cars respond so well to little things, it seems.

Agree they seem to like ethanol for sure. Curious how much the weather plays a roll too. I want to do an intake or just get drop in next.

What about charge pipes? What’re you thoughts on those?

I’m told that’s the first place you’ll develop a boost leak… cheap plastic factory ones won’t hold up to more boost.

Knocking 3-4 seconds off those 60-130 times with a simple flash is stupid impressive to me.

brad65ford · 05-23-2022, 03:32 PM

agree. Whats crazy is it feels so much faster than it is, assuming is the size of the car that creates it. had a Super Stock prior this which ran low 7's 60-130 all day long stock on 93 fuel. But it felt so slow even though it was faster. Kind of like having something that feel fast enough though it isn't lol.

Crazy thing is my wife’s X3MC on the E30 tune runs mid 7’s 60-130. This car is a turd compared to her daily right now. Our Porsche TTS ran low 6’s… and it was a tune, with catted exhaust only.

Hear ya. There is a point I don't really care about 60-130 with ice cars anymore. After having a plaid that runs mid 4's 60-130 with out even trying nothing else compared lol. Wife drives that plaid these days.

At least these make noise though… and you can shred tires too.

brad65ford · 05-29-2022, 12:58 PM

DP are in. Twice ever doing them on an M2 comp, felt the same lol. Did from all underneath like last time. Fairly easy job, just time consuming. Feels good, sounds perfect! Can't believe how different a high flow catted dp setup sounds is to a resonated one which I had last time. Would say not much louder which imho is perfect. Removed all burbles with BM3 and cold start function, very happy customer!

Thanks again Mike for getting these out to us!

Very Nice!!! They look like pretty good quality... any idea what cell cats those are? 200 cel 400 cel?

brad65ford · 05-29-2022, 08:01 PM

Thanks 10SecGG, I think they are 200 not 100 percent sure. Got to do some 60-130 runs since the air drop temp. Happy thus far, this was on a new tank of 93 fuel. Will look into blended ethanol files but just not worth the hassle imho.

WoooooW!! Co gratis man!! Very impressive. Look at BM3's flex fuel sensor. It's about $600, and it'll make your blended fuel issues totally painless. I'm told it takes about 30 minutes to install as well.

brad65ford · 05-30-2022, 01:00 PM

Thanks again. Slow in most cases for sure but surely better than it was stock. Had some interests in the whole BM3 Flex fuel, but not sure. Had DS1 for our Audi rs3 and it was pretty impressive with Flex fuel, not sure how deep BM3 went in comparison.

brad65ford · 05-31-2022, 02:25 PM

Added 3.3 gallons of E85 to achieve E30 and flashed the Stage 2 E30 file today, thinking I'm going to have to add more next time, tricky figuring it out with out actually measuring the mix . Wow this things rips, need to get an ethanol gauge or do as suggested by getting the flex fuel. Forgot how much higher ethanol does to performance.

Guessing this is stage 2 with DPs? These times are impressive.

That's a 992 Turbo S for comparison.

Yes that low 8's was with stage 2 93 OTS and "Catted" dp's, stock air filters and everything else stock except for GTS DCT flashed.

I miss my 991.1, had every bolt on possible. Needed different turbos and fuel upgrades to make it faster. the 992 is straight up a master piece.
