To be a devils advocate on my own product, I'd like to see the traps on 07tundra's laying down to back up the power he made on that dyno. It could be just a little generous. As we saw in an example above, dynos are sometimes a little optimistic, but a corresponding trap speed certainly helps back them up.

New website looks really nice.

It seems you don't offer a turbo upgrade for the 135i anymore though according to it :P

Hehe, yeah, it is still very much under construction. All the N54s are still supported though

I'm havin a hard time finding HP/TQ ratings with your twin upgrades without any other upgrades at time of swap. Obviously if someone is gonna spend $3k on turbo upgrades, the car isn't gonna be otherwise 100% stock- I'm just lookin for a rough numbers.

Say, if I'm already runnin a GIAC and HPF IC...

You wouldnt see huge gains on pump gas, no meth. You really need to spin the stg2s and the motor gets octane hungry. At least thats the impression I have.

see my posts. Only changes were fuel and the RBs. I will eventually get a 93 octane only dyno, but waiting to finalize both my maps first with ptf.

I have been told of gains as much as 50-60whp on pump gas only. Some others have said 10-20whp. The majority that I have heard over the years say about 30-40whp. AFAIK though GIAC does not support RBs, so that tune would have to go without their support. But yes, most customers who go for RBs already have supporting mods, it certainly makes no sense to throw them onto a completely stock car as the bang for the bucks dictate other mods.

Cool man thanks, happy you are enjoying the turbos. I speak to lots of people weekly, but glad I could be of assistance to you.
