Very nice. Your ride doesnt sound too harsh. For being catless it sounded strong but with a nice tone.

Thanks for the video.

One with the turbo spooling would be awesome

that actually sounds pretty sweet! normally catless gives you more Rasp but probably depends on the exhaust

Amazing can't wait the hear more about the FMIC. Exhaust sounds good, did you have Alex add burble? What exhaust are you running. Also if you're droning LMK I cured mine with a j pipe.

Our intercooler me can take a lot of abuse surprisingly, but I eventually heat soak. Recovery on stock FMIC is fairly fast, but to never hear soak would be best. I'm considering the oil cooler valve from BMS as another method to beat the heat.

Also those looking for Alex he is back from overseas and is informed me has new developments that may take our 535's closer to 400whp on our stock snails.

I hadn't talked to Alex about a burble, I'd be interested in it if it can be tied to Sport mode only. Having it to it all the time would get annoying. Its too boi-racer.

I have the M Performance exhaust on the car, and it actually drones less now with the catless down pipe strange enough. Before I had a resonance in the cabin when going ~40mph or so in comfort in 7/8th gears. Basically when the engine was lugging along buried behind gearing. Its significantly reduced. Doesn't do it at all in Sport as the trans keeps the RPM's up.

I found the factory intercooler was piss poor at controlling elevated IAT with the new tune, and it sharply spiked after a 30-100+ pull and took a long time to come back down, never actually reaching the temps it was at before.

I have the heat exchanger type oil cooler setup, so there is no option for me there. Not having any oil temp issues though.

Good to know Alex is back stateside, I've got a few emails waiting for a reply :-) I'm going to skip MP STG2, and go straight to whatever we can work up for the Pure STG2 turbo in the works.

Good to see Alex is still finding new ways to get us. Idk if you follow pure turbo on instagram but there was some allegations again Alex and Mission by other tuners and it was kinda entertaining to read. I still have faith in Mission and will wait to see what he can do with the stage 2 tune. I hope maybe he can do a stage 1+ tune if guys wanna keep stock dps and still get more power than just what stage 1 offers

Vrsf is making one for our cars eventually. I don't want to drop $900 on one either. I'm just going to wait for them to make it. I ran one on my e82 no problem and perfect fitment

Interesting, do you have an ETA on the VRSF intercooler?

@Tiago@VRSF didn't give me a timeframe. They were concentrating on getting the chargepipe for our cars released. Hopefully we will hear something soon.

I find it for 300 plus 70 shipping. Looks to be the same as Wagner, but I'm sure it can be argued.

Having had the Wagner in my hands I can tell you that intercooler in your link looks exactly like what it is. A cheaply made Chinese knock off, poised to fool those that value form over function.

It wouldn't fit the F10 anyway.

I'm waiting on Alex to get back to me about remotely flashing the car to stage 2 before I go do some data logging. I was hoping to flash it this evening but I haven't heard back yet.
