Me too- Twin turbo'ing 5at's is a waste of time. And you'll never get a fast car / time slip.





Oh wait......

Yeah but how much more would he need to really get a better car above this one in the same class/range? He could grab a used 335i but when you factor in the cost of buying it + modding it...well lets just say he'll need more than 10,000

selling/traden off his 5at with 10k or less down for a new or used 335i he wouldn't need to mod much to hit the same whp as would if you add a SC/TT trust me..

a 800.00 chip on a 335i will be u well over 350 whp, and im just talkin bout a chip let alone addin a FMIC or exhaust or somedang.

Buyer should be aware that such performance modifications may and can possibly void the BMW factory warranty.

When it comes to Horsepower gains, the Active Processor 2 produces over 80 HP and over 80 Ft Lbs of torque all measured on pump gas, with the reliability you've come to expect from Active Autowerke.

•Program #0 - 8 psi peak, then tapers to 5psi boost, STOCK setting
•Program #1 - 11-12 psi boost. Use with 91 RON octane •Program #2 - 13-14 psi boost. Use with 91 RON octane
•Program #3 - 13-14 psi boost. MORE Aggressive mid range Torque
•Program #4 - 13-15 psi boost. Use with 93 RON octane
•Program #5 - 13-15 psi boost. MORE Aggressive mid range Torque
•Program #6 - 13-15 psi boost. MORE + Aggressive mid range Torque
•Program #7 - 13-15 psi boost. Use with Intercooer, Down Pipes on 93 RON octane
•Program #8 - 13-15 psi boost. Use with Intercooer, Down Pipes on RACE FUEL

if i where u tho bro get rid of da auto and go 6sp if u really lookin to enjoy your goals in power gains.

how much more power will u get by changing the pulley from 3.21 to 2.87?
will this make the supercharger wind up any louder?

On a stock motor, a 2.87 pulley is not recommended. The 3.12 is a 10lb pulley while the 2.87 is 12lb. Although people do it, i believe reliability of the motor begins to drop off considerably above 10lb boost.

335s are too slow. The world needs to vibrate when I put the pedal down! If you've got $25-40k to burn, you can do it right and leave the GTRs and 911s behind!
