      The car is our 2011 135i w/ DCT, JB4 (Stage2), AR 4" downpipe, and WW quick install meth kit. I have an N55 Helix IC for it but have not had time to install it yet, hopefully soon! The car is using the same Shell 91 octane + NOS octane booster it's been on for the past 3k miles. Temps were in the low 70s. For today's meth testing I wound up having to run 100% duty cycle most of the power band. Meaning the JB4 is working the wastegate as much as it can be worked. And even in that trim it struggled to hold 17psi @ 5000rpm and 13psi @ 6000rpm.

      Overall I'm happy with the results but sad to report this motor with the stock turbo is about tapped out at around 370rw. Maybe with the IC on cold day we can extend that to 385rw. But it's going to take a questionably loose dynojet and a prayer to get to 400rw.

      On the plus side I superimposed one of the runs against the same car when it was stock and was pleased with the 100whp delta.

      Despite the small turbo you guys are going to *love* Stage2. All the N54 functionality is there, we've put lagfix back in, and partial throttle is buttery smooth.

        Tapers to 13psi @ 6000rpm give or take. 370rw is no slouch but it ain't say 430rw. I avoided posting a comparison N54 overlay to avoid depressing N55 guys. Click here to enlarge

        It's ok, the N55 guys will get the N54 guys back when they have a working single turbo upgrade.

        that would be great actually Click here to enlarge but it would be interesting to see the torque curve difference, including spool time, im sure you can find one with similar mods.

        i remember that thread and my posts/questions, but the dynos in that thread are for stock cars, these cars will be modded.

        I'm sure we can get modded overlays as well.

        Well, that's what happens when people $#@! about lag. Click here to enlarge

        Really though, I bet it feels great around town. Nothing beats that surge of torque from a big turbo(s) once it finally spools though. Not to mention sounding like a jet! Click here to enlarge

        The time will come, both for the N54 AND the N55. Click here to enlarge

        I'm sure it will go 11s on a cool night. If I can keep that wheel hop away. Hoping the 1st gear limiting does the trick.
