Only if it's blocked.... Ive made 290kw with a blitz return flow.... I'd eliminate the boost tee first. My mods are similar to yours.

what size is the rear housing on the turbo? also that graph isn't that helpful...do they have one that shows rpm as well as afr?

Big ups for Tao especially for the Highflow and SS2 offerings. I've been running a 21U highflow now for almost 5 years.

The latest one has the ATR compressor housing with the latest wastegate and exhaust wheel design.

On a standard engine, standard exhaust manifold, standard intake manifold, greddy cooler & havoc hard intake pipe with a Z32 & 850cc injectors it makes over 300kw on pump E85 with 18PSI peak bleeding to 16PSI at the top.

But it's not the peak power figure that I love, it's the response and delivery of torque.

or just a basic MAC valve and let your ECU control it (if it has the capabilities), there's no way a bleed valve can surpass an EBC which runs in close loop oscillating to control the boost.

I don't think the advantages of a EBC are drastic enough to correct a ~50rwkw deficit.

My TurboTech made 270rwkw no worries at 19psi and held it perfectly on an OP6 highflow.

I do agree, but if he is looking to replace the boost tee as a possible source of power loss then I think he should get an EBC whilst he is at it. There are many advantages/features in running one.

Hey tao how much is your Hypergear ls20.5g? Is it best run with a external gate and good high mount manifold? Or is there a bolt on version you make with stock rb25 6 bolt rearr.? Id probably prefer a vband rear. Make the price with the lines and whatever else ill need? Will it make 330-350kw at the wheels on e86/wmi and 270 ish kw on plain 98? Also how good does the adaptronic go compared to the likes of Vi-Pec/Link/Haltech ect in plug/play versions ofc. What can you do the Adaptronic for $$$'s wise with the sensors ill need and everything to just plug it in and set it up to go haha

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
