This is the thinking that kills me sometimes on this platform. We're spoiled with an engine that was underrated from the factory, overbuilt for what the goal was, and tuned a very specific way that left a lot of potential power on the table. Luckily that means with ~$300 in bolt ons and $150 for MHD OTS tunes you get an extra 200bhp. But people dont realize after that, it costs money like any other high performance build if this is their first high HP or tuner car. They think everything should be as easy as the first bits so they buy used or low quality parts, dont keep up with the sometimes pricey BMW maintenance, and then whine about unreliable or "N54 is not THAT good of an engine, look at the 2jz" not realizing the old modder/tuner adage "you have to pay to play" is very real.
I'm almost afraid of the inevitable complaints coming from people with rattle-can 180k mile stock turbos who are going to order a Helix as their first >400 purchase. When they can't hit 750whp on full e85 and their LPFP fails because they dont do supporting mods, just read "supports up to x HP" and think that's all that's needed theres going to be even more wah-wah'ing even with the tables being public and the product widely available.
