Love the M performance brakes. Next item on my list.

Where is the best place to buy these days?

Nice stance as well with the wheels!

Thanks!! Ebay seems to be the cheapest still at 1250$ shipped

How the car sits today. I am not sure when the suspension or BM3 mods will go on. Stay tuned.

Coming along very nicely. Hoping to get my Bootmod3 soon as well. This is just the thread I needed to get my brakes done. Looks killer.

Nice looking car. Can you notice the difference with the brakes?

Thanks! Its not really a big difference in braking power. They just dont fade over time.

Nice setup. Looking forward to see what it looks like lowered and the HP numbers if you dyno. I have a similar car and starting the Modding process.

How difficult was the ER charge pipe install on the AT x-drive ?

I didn't do the install, but apparently it was difficult for the shop that did mine. It took them like 2 business days to finish it. I don't think they solely worked on that but it took alot longer than their original estimation.

Don't go back to that shop lol

It takes maximum 2 hours or an hour and a half if the garage is good.

I have xDrive and it took my local shop an hour and a half and I was actually at the shop waiting while it was being done.

I think the new quest is 450whp (I doubt I'm even above 375whp right now) and I think I will go for that with the Pure Turbos Stage 2 or possibly a smaller turbo using the Speedtech kit (this is assuming I will only run pump gas). I still need to work out all the logistics. Plus I would like to get bootmod3 before I install it.

My biggest challenge will be finding a shop that is somewhat close to me who can perform this install. So, if anyone has a reputable shop in Southeast Michigan please give me a recommendation.

Thats a good plan. 430-450whp is attainable on PS2 (or equivalent turbo) on pump gas (no PI or meth) with a spot on tune.

Plus gives me the room to add fueling later on. That may the the way to go.

This was with a map that was not done for pure stage 2 from bm3.

With a proper custom tune with ps2, you can hit 450whp easily. I basically did 400whp with a 91 tune as my timing was way off.

Something is definitely way off in that. There is zero bottom end.

Like I said, the OTS is not for the turbo, need custom. Your dyno run was from 3000rpm, mine was done around 1800rpm. Plus if there was no lag down bottom, you're gonna destroy your driveshaft.

I'm not comparing yours to mine. I'm telling you compared to every other PS2 dyno I've seen, something is wrong. You definitely need to get it sorted. There are plenty of people making 4-500wtq sub 3K rpms reliably. It's all about the tune, boost control and and torque limiter.

I'm not running meth or any E mix though, those who are running 400-500 is due to meth or E mix. I'm just running 94 octane. I'll update once I get a custom tune done.

I understand what you are saying... but damn give the guy a break lol.

Pretty good numbers for a tune to just get his car rolling along. I agree he should have waited to get his tune tweaked for his setup before hitting the dyno - but it's nice to see the power he is making with the turbo upgrade on a base tune.

The custom tune should significantly help the power down low and he probably has nearly another 50whp left in it. I agree with chuango though... linear power is better... better for traction and easier on the drivetrain.

I'm not bashing at all. I'm just pointing out that he has issues and needs to get it sorted. Something isn't running properly. That's all I've been saying. Great power for pump gas and with a proper tune it will only be better.

Linear power is better on a drivetrain for sure, but nothing about big turbos is linear. Stock EWG turbos on meth are pulling crazy numbers down low that no one seems to recognize when talking about larger turbo lag and linear power. Again, not the point I'm trying to prove. I just think driving around on a tune not meant for your setup can be problematic not to mention you didn't datalog. Get it checked out, tuned properly and show us some some awesome pump numbers everyone has been waiting for.

I'm cheering for him, not against him.

[HKD126]

Insane - Where did you get your Yellow M brakes from? I'm looking for a set and can't find any of the ebay deals that used to be out there.

Well if you want to know something, after the dyno I did a datalog, and found out that dyno run was done on a 91 octane timing.

I have the drf file of the dyno as well.

So basically these numbers you see here is on 91 pump gas, not 94. What happened was i needed new plugs and a better gap, as It was pulling timing, I updated the BM3 thread with the old plugs pics, if I were to run it again, it would probably break 400 into most probably 420ish.
