That Helix torque-band looks identical to a car with stock turbos running meth. No thanks.

RB's turbos and Shiv/FFTEC's setup are the only ones that actually yield very tangible gains. The rest is a waste imo and most look to be done by someone who thinks turbocharging is as simple as strapping a 'bigger' compressor wheel on and expecting more power.

If we're going to mention the Vishnu Single-Turbo upgrade (which is prob gonna be closer to $10k), then we might as well bring up the ASR Turbo Upgrade (RB performance in a more refined + expensive package) and that VAC is currently working on a TT upgrade that will also benefit from an competition spec cylinder head.

VAC is working on some kind of turbo for our cars?

This is from the VAC thread when I asked about their aftermarket N54 Cylinder Heads

And knowing VAC, they're not going to take something done already (RBs/ASRs) and market it as their own

Add to that list the manifold being built by steed speed.
Steed speed twin scroll + EFR turbo+ ATR/ATP= win

No VAC is the real deal and if they are going to use something, it will probably be special. As it always is. Im excited to see whats going on. If you hear anything let me know.

Well right now we're looking at a new intake manifold (Morkinator & Steed Speed) + new cylinder heads + a new aftermarket TT upgrade (VAC) = a LOT more HP/TQ is about to get freed up

Just FYI, I had a discussion yesterday with a friend of mine who has recently ported the heads on his 335i and achieved an additional flow of 19% compared to the stock heads. Developed on a flowbench, of course.

Yea, when I went to VAC they showed me their flow bench they did all their testing on & had a shrink wrapped N54 cylinder head (think it was their Stage 1+ package) for a 1M. What kinda gains did he see w/ the 19% increase in flow?? Stock snails??

No, upgraded turbos. I don't think he's been on the dyno yet with all the modifications due to time constraints.
