+1 for the next group buy. Christmas gifts took my budget during the last one :(

Most tuning is done on a dyno. Yes you can use it for logging

Noticeably louder with the valves open but still very tame under ~4k rpms. Valves closed is still quiet. Not even as loud as the stock dp with valves open. Unless youre ready to tune the car I wouldnt go catless yet

Works fine

Intake isn't related to lean codes. It sounds like a coincidence

Mines unlocked. I would call to clarify

Back to the focus of the thread… has anyone with an upgraded turbo tried the no lift shift? How’s it working with the OTS NLS? Anyone had their tuner revise it?

To add to what Bryan mentioned, it’s worth considering an intake manifold with your setup to keep the temps happy considering you’re in Cali. Depending on your end goals, that might be the right time to swap out the DI for PI.

Personal preference but I do .2 secs for a high rev range. It’s usually a single pop and anything more is obnoxious imo

Could you share more context around what happened? How many miles on the block before this? Was it caused by “expected” wear and tear for this hp?

Good point. I haven’t looked too deep into any bmw threads yet

I’ve talked with a lot of tuners/shops and so far apparently no one’s blown up the trans yet, which I find hard to believe. Might be one of those things you just don’t talk about but there are plenty of cars pushing upper 700’s for torque but the longevity is unclear I don’t know of any high hp...

Believe it not, people like building manual cars

As people have already mentioned, do not go top mount right away unless you're okay with significant turbo lag. At most, get a full frame for the stock location then upgrade to top mount if you really want it (there are stock location options which will get you to 900whp)

Being able to swap in a t56 that’s capable of 1k+ hp/tq is a pretty big deal for racing

Has anyone done the T-56 swap on their MKV or know of anyone who has...

I like what you did with the fenders, looks great

Yes

Sport cooling is fine and recommended. Max cooling is not recommended in general, but can be used very sparingly
