3 stage intake + tune reviews
I know there are several threads with different observations and reviews on the 3 stage intake manifold and AA tune, but here is a place to post them all. Please share your thoughts regarding this mod, especially the difference in daily driving and butt dynos. I've seen several dyno sheets, but how about the driving experience? Would you do it again? Was it worth the money?
Feel free to post any related videos if you have any. |

Is it noticeable? Absolutely! Car pulls really well from 3k to redline. 4.5k rpm you can feel it pull even harder. Would I do it again? YES! Was it worth the money? Yes!

How much of a difference did your mmw headers make in comparison to your 3IM + Tune?

The Tune + Manifold was a bigger gain. I have not been to the dyno since putting the headers on. I have been putting all my spare money into my e30.

N51 with AA Tune (3 SI included). Car def feels more alive than stock even on the XI and much more fun to drive. Sadly where I got my tune up they did not have dyno equipment set up for the XI would love to do one soon though.

Do you feel like 0-60 times are improved, or is the throttle just more responsive and linear?

Do a search. There are 3 big threads with everything you need to know. This thread is specifically for reviews, not people asking how to/what to/cost to do this.

There was a great review here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...postcount=1451
Hopefully he will post it here as well. How about some vids? I am curious to see how the RPMs respond, especially WOT from M1. Any WOT vids from M1? |
