I'm getting the stg. 2 / plus flash off my car and getting a refund during the trial period. All I can say is that it isn't even worth my time to dyno it - I just don't enjoy it vs. the PROceed or even the JB3. Just my opinion, I have fun trying different tunes out there and although this is a very smooth tune I miss the low end delivery of the piggy's.

My baseline was on stock boost + bolt-ons, minus the intake (I had the stock box and Helene drop-in filter 3 days ago when I did the baseline). I just switched the GIAC switcher to stock and dynoed.
By the way, here is a GIAC Stage 1 flash on a Mustang: 283-287whp max. http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/695655-post1.html Here is a stock 335i on Mustang: 239whp http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...2&d=1208633969 Last edited by tscdennab; 12-24-2010 at 04:12 AM.. |

But my point in this thread was that I would never pay that extra money for a pair of 3" DP's and do the pain-in-the-ass-install again if I already had a pair of 2.5" aftermarket DP's installed in my car. If there had been a noticeable improvement in performance, I'd probably had a different approach to this. Äru me' kompis? Last edited by Big Tom; 12-24-2010 at 05:37 AM.. |

Yes I have good confidence in this since the crank has not walked out the by oil tray and the piston crowns have not grenaded. It is not the PSI that kills the engine (on this level), it is the absence of a proper tune, high octane fuel and safety mechanisms.

Before pointing any fingers or jumping to unreliable conclusions, you should check to see if your motor is operating at spec; meaning compression is up to snuff, no (boost) leaks, leak down test performed, etc. Share your numbers and we could possibly nail this down for you. Some folks here try to help, albeit there’s a lot more prediction than knowledge but that’s where you need to deduct the crazy talk to facts. Numbers don’t lie. BTW- The data provided by Mr. 5 should have been an eye opener (endorsing my previous suggestion that you should upgrade your DP's to 3”) to the skeptics, suggesting that size does matter - to the turbo car world that is. |

The only thing I am missing from sustaining my power gains is removal of the second cats. The rest of the parts are there, but indeed they may not be the best ones and here comes the part of guessing what are the biggest bottlenecks, which I will only find out probably the hard way. |

I will probably order 3" downpipes after Christmas. But I am pretty positive I still need to do more than this, they cannot possibly account for ~25whp. But we'll see

I cant wait, haha forget christmas. This will be my christmas, I think I have watched literally every video on youtube about the n54. Make sure you get a camera mounted so that it shows the cars in your rear view...LOL i have a feeling that we will be watching more from your rear view than from the passenger/driver window. JUST A PREDICTION...that is until dzenno gets in his rb's. Now that is gonna be one hell of a race, I would LOVE to see that race, and more than once. AT vs MT, diff. turbo setup...I will sponsor the pay-per-view...

The BigTom IC works great, as have been reported by people using it. I'm honestly not aware of any other IC at the moment that is proven to be better. There are a lot of differences between his and my car so the outcome in future events is unknown |

1. Is there any proof the HPF IC performs better than the BigTom IC, which has a substantially larger core? 2. What are the dimensions on HPF's inlet and outlet connections? Is it full 3" as on the BT-unit? |

I don't know how much the BigTom IC increases the power. In my case it is now possible to run 20 totally limp free PSI's and it was 18+ PSI before with a Helix-copy. Whatever the reason is, many factors comes into play, the power increase should be about 10% turbo power (that is 200 on a 400 hp level) , i.e. like 20 horses more with 20 PSI vs. 18 PSI. It is also not only about peak power, the new IC pulls noticeable better on high RPM's where important extra speed is built.
