Well, I know you'll let all of us know how you make out, so even us beta testers can decide which Xede "version" we want to ultimately have.

Sounds like the new setup provides more stable boost. Looking at the previous dyno graphs, you could see oscillations in power. It appears this has been corrected. I would think the beta testers would want any improvement that Shiv is offering - why not?
Shiv, are you considering running a slightly higher boost? Not to rush you, but what timeframe are you looking at delivery of the first wave, even on an order of magnitude? |

20psi looks like a huge improvement. I wonder what the dyno improvement 9 extra psi more than current beta Xede users will yield
As sflgator mentioned, I'd be a little concerned about the longevity of parts at 20psi. Maybe this will be adjustable? Fuel map dependent? Will be interesting to see. |

.
I wouldn't think he would be adding much more boost considering the compression ratio of the 335i. I would have big concerns.

The ability to run 20psi isn't that outlandish. On race gas, it should be perfectly conceivable to run 15-16psi of boost in the low end/midrange. Top end with still be limited to 10-11psi due to turbo limitations. And for those who live at 5000' above sea level where atmospheric pressure is 3-4psi lower than it is at sea level, the'd need to run 18-20psi of boost to acheive the same engine load. The high boost capability is just there when we need it. Of course, it would be taken advantage of by most customers in most situations. But we wanted to make sure that our control over the turbos is good enough to make them do whatever we want (within reason and contraints).

Got it - I ran 1.4 bar ( 20.6 psi) on my 944 turbo S with no issues - lower comp ratio. What additional horsepower / performance gains are you expecting with the increased boost? This is really good stuff Shiv.

The project mgt term "On an Order of Magnitude" means a big picture estimate of a quantity or timeframe for a deliverable. It is often used to get answers or commitments from suppliers, engrs, contractors without pinning them down to a specific number or date. It is useful when you need info on a larger magnitude or scale so that you can assess whether your specific needs will be met. For example .. an acceptable response would have been mid Feb timeframe maybe the first 25 to 50 Xede's. A detailed response like ... the first 25 will be delivered and at your door Feb 1. Lawyersusually speak in Order of Magnitude and give worst case when assessing sentences and court dates since there are many unknowns.

Order of Magnitude Estimate (Accuracy -25, +75 Percent) This is an approximate estimate made without detailed data, that is usually produced from cost capacity curves, scale up or down factors that are appropriately escalated and approximate cost capacity ratios. This type of estimate is used during the formative stages of an expenditure program for initial evaluation of the project. Other terms commonly used to identify an Order of Magnitude estimate are preliminary, conceptual, factored, quickie, feasibility and SWAG. Quote:
2. I generally try not to speak in terms of worst case sentences. I found that clients fixate on a worst case sentence and I can't get them to focus on matters at hand. Besides, in most instances, a worst case sentence will not occur. 3. Sometimes in criminal cases, when a client bonds out, he is given a court date. I'm not sure what a worst case court date would be. Perhaps you could enlighten me. I try to be as up front with my clients as possible. I always give my best guess regarding court dates based on my experience with a particular court. If I don't know, I say so. Thanks for your reply. |

lawdude - I am definitely no lawyer. I'm an engr who used to work as a Proj Mgr. I was just trying to think of an example where it might be used in your profession - chow.
