Sweat videos, I like the bumper mount GoPro as it looks like you're going faster and you can hear the exhaust better.

Oh that's right I forgot that it takes Battle Tuning several weeks to write the code for a stage 4 tune, if this is the case you haven't seen nothing yet! Is the stage 4 tune supposed to give you more/longer torque curve to better adapt to the hybrid turbo larger size?

The funny thing is the GoPro mounted on the bumper isn't the original audio, that's audio from the audio recorder mounted inside. Audio/video is married together using my editing software =P

Thats a great idea! I'm guessing a loud clap in front of the camera and you have the video audio synced perfectly. I bet it sounds a lot better too! No constant wind noise and case creaking. Definately something I have to try out. I hate bad audio with good video, takes away from the whole thing. Also, you say "your" editing software, I take it that it is actually yours? If so cool! If not... still cool!

And it is mine, I paid for the license since it's what I need for work.
Tracking at the end of the month! Last trackday before the real heat sets in....

The August one is down at Buttonwillow! They had a bunch of requests from the SoCal folks saying the same thing "Thunderhill is way too far, do something down here". But I hear ya on not doing it if you won't enjoy it.

He was on the carpool and I guess 75 wasn't fast enough for him so he crossed double yellow to speed up and slam on his break behind a lexus and I still passed him up going at my steady 75. moron....

that was me and that e90 wasn't giving chase, he was just fitting the category of a bmw jerk.

that bmw had a deathwish. he was definitely closing in on traffic at over 90mph, and didn't tap the brakes until the very last second. i saw him cut back into the left/carpool lane a couple cars behind you right before the carpool lane ended. azzhat for sure.

i was actually driving my white Q5. the wife and dog don't like riding in the mini when we make our sunday trips to LA for church. had i been in the mini, i prob would have tried pulling up next to you and given a wave.
come to think of it, i think i noticed your challenge wing first, and then your volks.

Anyways, it'll just be a linear run. The important factor in this is seeing how much more hp/tq the turbo/mani are outputting compared to my previous dyno. Running a non-linear map afterwards doesn't allow time for the ECU to adapt, so I'd rather do that at a later time.
But at the current setup, I'm seeing 209whp with stock turbo.
The changes this time around have been the Brisk plugs, Wagner Intercooler, B45HP K03 ported, and the 3rd gen manifold ported.

Just the Stage2. I've been really happy with just this Stage2 mated to the B45HP so I feel like I don't need the Stage4, but I'd be doing everyone on here a disservice to not do it at the same time.

I'd guess 220hp/230tq... If possible it would be great to see the boost curves compared side by side.
