Just out of curiosity any meets or events going on this weekend in the Bay? I'm going to be in town for the 49ers/Giants game and was looking to see if anything else was going on.

We usually meet on Friday Nights in the South Bay, I don't believe anything is happening on the weekend though.

Nice to meet you virtually Pablo! Haha well I have a BMS powerbox and I think that's like 10-15hp, maybe if we're lucky? I also have the new AA exhaust that Active Autowerke just recently released, they claimed around 9hp/tq I believe? And I'm thinking of getting a Simota intake. So I'm guessing if we put performance part on our N51/52 we can get ?250hp? I don't really know to be honest. But that's my route so far.
How about you?

Me, I'm still riding on stock everything, right now I don't want to put parts in because I have another child on the way, plus I want to wait until I hit 50001 miles before I put anything in. Right now this is my list of prospective parts:

Eismann Exhaust(through some searching on eBay 16hp gain)
Active Auto Sealed Intake(12~+hp/15lbs. torque)
OE Tuning Flash(Peak HP 255/Peak Toque 221lbs.)
Then see what I can get with a BMS PBX

So all in all I think closer to 270ishHP, but maybe closer to 280 range if the BMS works out, checked out Tuner Motorsport and asked them if the BMS would have an issue with a flashed ECU and they said there shouldn't be issues.

For exterior I'm thinking the 313 style 19" rims from BMW(I like their simplicity) and CF deck spoiler and maybe a CF or aluminum strut bar.

Quite a list and quite a bit of money to pony up.

Nice! Good luck modding

That's the ECU flash from Turner right? I debating between that and AA stage 2 flash.

LUCKY!!!!!! I am too scared for single Turbo. I just ordered my new Clutch to hold the my new found E85 power.

FYI 100% nets about 10-12 MPG average

Could be my new driving habits.

Yea I think MPG will take a hit for the first couple weeks

You're the lucky one with the upgraded pump though...I'm not even sure I'm getting mine while it's in for the single. They are waiting on anodization.

Which clutch are you running? I assume it's not stock. If it is, you should order up a new one ASAP.

Yeah, I checked it out at Turner, but I think OE might be better, AA's flash doesn't seem too different from Turner's.

Yeah, I'm just going to weigh all the pros and cons and see which is better cost productive.
