The only reason people are making comments is their allegiance to other shops.

Good stuff with the STi :tup:

I’m getting old. ☹ A tune for these things is kind of a lot IMO; Well a real custom tune that is.

You’re right. You need another BMW with 3 pedals in your life 🙂

OP, what are the estimated power goals for this thing anyways? Looks well done as usual, keep up the good work!

That torque hit is sexy.

Hit up Emery, his rates are fairly reasonable.

“Power” goals are really meaningless. Dyno to dyno, the numbers are so far-fetched sometimes it’s impossible to use as comparison. The only numbers that matter are same-dyno power gains and 1/4 mile times.

We will basically do what we did with the Evo’s, find a record and chase after it, document the mods, find out what works, what doesn’t… best bang for the buck.

With the records, magazines, features, videos, world-wide shipping… we got it down pretty well in the Evo world. That’s our home. Always will be, but it gets old after a while. Gotta start something new. The GTR was absolutely amazing, the 135i was awesome… but just didn’t have the market at hand. Suby’s are everywhere. And always will be. The Suby crowd is a little different than Evo’s, but we all love the same thing. Look good, go fast. They’re all toys.

I think the stock turbo record will be first, and with Ben’s nasty RS in the shop too, should be an interesting year 🙂

So did y’all get rid of the bimmer and the gt-r or are they just on the back burner?

If you really wanted an STi, you could’ve traded your GT-R to me for mine.

Missing three pedals might actually make someone do just that. LOL

personally $200 for a flash tune with one of these motors is worth it all day long

Suggestions on where to go/order? The only thing I looked at is acces port.(around $275 used IIRC) Would I nee that is STM tuned it? I have had my XT for over a year now but have honestly not really looked into the aftermarket. But I would always enjoy some more funtime power.

You can purchase tunes cheap. you just need to borrow a tactrix cable. I had one but some pos from this website decided to keep it and ignore me.
