16PSI dipping into the 50's on 93oct is starting to show its weakness.

The stage 2 LPFP is adequate up to about E65ish but if you have plans on Port Injection you would want to bite the bullet and go stage 3.

I have the stage 2 pump and on E60 mixes it will sometimes dip into the high 50's. I know if i add PI to that I will need to buy yet another pump stage 3.

If you plan to hit 550whp+ then the stage 3 pump is a MUST.

BUT if you are like me and are kinda content with 500whp Stage 2 is perfect.

I am slowly getting the "i need more power now" bug so i may be parting ways with my stage 2. But that wont happen until spring 2017 since my car is now parked for winter. - Colorado snow has started :(

If the Direct Port Meth comes out and is blown motor free for the first few months ill buy that. If not then i will probably buy a new manifold and go Direct Port E85.

But I the throttle body injection is about a 550whp setup.

MooreOfDerek I will be excited to see your build come along :)

Truly can't thank you enough for being part of the journey. I grew up dreaming about the opportunity and I can now do so! #lifeGoals

That's thru enthusiasm... People willing to go into debt over cars/modding are the TRU enthusiasts ;) lol
You have no idea, I started with a 530xi... As soon as the finances were good went to a 335xi. 2 weeks later (After basic maintenance Oil, Sparks, Plugs, etc) Bought JB4 and DCI, then programmed my TCU with the Alpina b3 software. Still spending probably 1-200$ a week on my car.
This week: Stage 2 LPFP
Last Week: Full set of tires and new pads
Week Before: Refreshed Shocks/Struts
Week Before that: MHD Backend Flashed
Probably more but.. Don't feel like adding up the total to realize how bad my addiction is xD

Haha I know the feeling, after I bought my 335 I spent about $500 the first month and then 1600 the next month. Now it's calmed down to just a couple hundred a month, trying to save for big mods
