Understood, makes sense. Also wanted to know what your thoughts are about the PS2 Turbo.

I currently have 2013 535i (8spd Auto) with k&n intake, catless VRSF DP, VRSF CP, Magnaflow mufflers, Wagner FMIC and BM3 Tune. Ran last night at 75 degree weather and Average time was:

FBO- 60 ft 1.8 @ 12’90’s 104mph (I really thought I’d be in the mid 12’ with a lot more mph).
Stock- 60 ft 2.0 @ 13,80’s 98mph stock.

My thoughts are, either I need to see where and why Im losing power. (Feels like it’s dying on high rpm and too end). Personally I think the turbo is just not strong enough even with the mods. Had it connected to my computer and I’m going from around 17psi and down to 10/11/12 toward high rpm. Thinking my turbo and factory wastegate might be holding my power back.

Been looking at the PS2 and reading all the issues you had. Did it make a huge difference? Cause the turbo, fuel pump, diverter valve and spark plugs would run me 3-4k without instal. Any advise and tips would be greatly appreciated. I also thought about selling the 535 and buying a used M5 but that’s also a 20k upgrade so maybe the PS2 might be the better deal.
