" Once the tranny slips once its kinda the end of it. I'm waiting for e90company to flash the alpina software. After that we'll let it shift. "

" I knew I forgot something lol next vid will have the head slamming. Like Dan said this still a very preliminary map. It's actually the standard bms flash. So nothing special going on to help spool. It's actually not as laggy as it seems I guess everything just happens slower in video. This is also the largest a/r vband housing they offer. The good thing is this turbo has great transient response. Once we start letting it shift it self it's gonna be a rocket. I don't think it'll lose much boost at all between shifts. "

" Also worth noting, I put the vargas HPFP and fuel rail in tonight. Easy swap. The car definitely has a lot more fuel. I wasn't able log, but the car is super rich.

" Sorry no indash boost. I totally forgot about that. Only have AFR on dash. You'll know when it's in boost though lol. I'm waiting for the video to upload. It's 9 minutes long and Hd so taking forever. Sound didn't come out as it does in real life as I had the water proof cover over the gopro. You guys will get the idea though. I did a cold start, some revs once warm, and some in car pulls. "

Like a normal car with an external wg. The cannisters and boost solenoids are not on the car. "

i took it home on 93 only and a custom map 6. it drove great at partial and WOT. all though I couldn't get much past 6K due to wet roads and no traction. it's fast. and it's just beginning

Yup car is quick already on pump. I think it's 16.5psi on the logs. I'm pretty confident it is making at or over 500whp and we haven't started tuning yet.

I tried to plug the Cobb in and it wouldn't communicate. Is this because of the jb4? "

Edit: Although I have the feeling it's not controlling the external wastegates, yet...

no flash yet. I'm gonna have to email terry to get one. "

" Dan picked up the car today. He's still on his way back from Tampa so I'm sure he'll update later tonight. Ill just say the car is running extremely well with the jb4 and a custom map 6. I know he's only had the car for a couple hours, but for anybody wanting to do a custom kit and are worried about tuning it, the g5 iso seems to work perfect. Paired with the bms flash I think everything should be perfect. @Terry@BMS "
