jpsimon · 03-11-2010, 08:50 PM

we still gotta get on the dyno and see if it actually makes power! remember I'm the first car these are actually in, so we have no idea. but so far it feels good

I'm sure he'll be boosting north of 19 pounds. The Turbo is designed to hold at least 20 pounds to redline.

yea.
although potential of internal is yet to be determined... i wish our engine and tranny is like 2jg-gte (supra motor) and Getrag to hold up high power SOMEHOW!!!
so we don't have to spend money on internals!!!

Sniz · 03-11-2010, 10:42 PM

hey man just drive down here to Maryland and give me a ride. By the time you get here, you'll be well past breakin and ready to run against Adams s/c m5

. My car is in pieces still so I cant run you

if you go for the best bang for your money, go get tune/meth/n2o and call it a day. why spend money on intake, exhaust, IC or DP in the first place?

with that being said, kudos to JP and the tuner who's actually making it happen in REALISTIC time frame...
MUCH FASTER PACE than any other tuners who tried upgrading turbos on N54 platform...

bleh... not even worth replying to.

JoeyFiasco · 03-12-2010, 03:17 AM

so to day is the day eh?

a32guy · 03-12-2010, 07:25 AM

I'll be by around 2, hope to see a pull

It's a ZF (GS6-53DZ)... and it's actually the same 6spd from the e60 m5.

mwahlert · 03-12-2010, 09:46 AM

what are you "breaking in"? isn't your engine still stock? turbos don't require break in... all they require is some oil in the bearings before engine first start.

john boxter · 03-12-2010, 11:01 AM

i see that you have stated that everything is running fine and thats great news but you haven't really commented on improvements, can you let us know what the butt dyno results look like? bigger difference than downpipes? bigger than tune? where do we stand really thank you

dzenno · 03-12-2010, 11:05 AM

let the guy have some fun first guys c'mon

i'm not expecting night/day here as we'd already know that ... speculating around 40whp at MOST!

Slidewayz · 03-12-2010, 11:10 AM

Hey JP, you should stick a 'vote' on the beginning of this thread so we can all guess at the WHP gain...
