I'm still on all factory pipes. No issues at all. Pipes look good. I'm just under 80k. If a pipe cracks or breaks I'll look into upgrading but I really don't see a need to upgrade prematurely based on the boost I'm pushing. I have no idea how much of a difference the fmic made. I purchased the intercooler because it's hot AF down here in the summer and I'm all for anything that helps cool lol. Plus it was an easy install and I got it cheap. I have noticed a difference there but hard to quantify how much because I did that right when I got BM3. It's bigger than stock and meant to help with performance so I assume it's doing that. No idea how much power I'm pushing but if I were to guess, somewhere in the 260s to the wheels. I've clocked my 0-60 time at 5.5 if that helps. A downpipe and stage 2 would definitely open things up a bit more but honestly, I'm satisfied right now. It's a fun car. |

Update: the timing chain issue has me extremely paranoid as I believe mine has started to whine already, so I decided to hold off on performance upgrades. The car has an intake and muffler delete and I got a BMS Stage 1 tune for a steal so I installed that for now. Hoping to get my timing chain replaced soon and then I will start with more bolt ons and a flash tune maybe this coming summer and will hopefully be able to provide dyno results once completed.

You're going to spend quite a bit to get to 300whp to be completely honest. FBO + tune for e30/e50 all things considered.
Also if you don't have timing chain issues it's something that can be monitored. You'll either get it or you don't. Open the oil cap every oil change and check the tension. It's also progressive and not an instant failure btw. -catless Downpipe + aftermarket muffler (oem n55 is restrictive too maybe free 8-10 whp) -Chargepipe + turbo boost pipe combo -Turbo inlet -Upper intake hose replacement (turner motor sports 110 option has been amazing from the stock pipe) -intercooler -tune (ots e30 is great, but a custom e50 tune will give you more) If you want more than 310 you are going to need a bigger turbo. It's up to you to see if it's worth spending a total of 5-6k to do what the stock n55 block can do.
