I think once you get the TU pump and mix in some E, is where it'll start shining.

I'm still on the mppsk tune lol. Waiting for Black Friday making the switch. I thought about taking it off the X5 but got vetoed by my wife. 🤣
I wish we had accessible E here in NC. If you look up E85 pumps in NC on the gas buddy app, you'll find maybe 2 or 3 total in the whole state. And none of them are even remotely close to me. It's a real problem. So until E is accessible in North Carolina, I'm locked in to 93 octane. Very depressing. Which is why I'm so dead set on a big turbo. I'd like 500+who on 93 octane.

So, not any meaningful update but have been just driving and enjoying the car with the remainder of nice weather.
Car runs and drives very nice and overall am quite happy with it.
It for sure needs another 100+HP but that will come in the spring with a bigger turbo.
For now I am rolling MHD stage 2+ and XHP stage 3.
I'm terrible at taking pics but here's a couple I grabbed while out and about.
On a side note, I am not used to the attention this car grabs from everyone out there.
It's almost weird. Little kids, soccer moms, senior citizens and even diesel bros have been complimenting the car. Very weird experience.
