Well, I've had this beauty for almost a year and half and have enjoyed every single minute of it (well, except for that Bilstein fiasco...but I digress...). I've managed to keep her stock power-wise, always wondering what a little more power to an already phenomenal car would be like....well....I'm going full monte. Car is in the hands of the EVOMS crew in Tempe to get some 'tweaks'. Had the original intention of getting the 650 kit. Somehow, I was convinced to invest in the 700/720R kit......wait a sec....775? What the?!!?!?

The 700/720R kit includes
? EVOMSit ECU Chip Switch - Utilizes "On The Fly Switching" with 2 X EPROMS
? EVOMS / SRE Stage 3 Clutch
? EVOMS High Flow VTG Turbochargers w/ Billet Compressor Wheels
? EVOMS ClubSport 44.5mm Exhaust Headers
? EVOMS ClubSport Intercoolers (charge coolers) w/ Silicone Boost Hoses
? EVOMS High Flow Silicone Turbocharger Air Inlet Ducts
? EVOMS Billet Turbocharger Boost Recirculation Valves
? Gaskets, Hardware & Installation Components

I already have a BBI Stage III exhaust with 200 cell cats which I plan on keeping. I may lose a touch of power running the cats, but I'm sure I won't notice.

The 775 upgrade includes

EVOMS ClubSport High Flow Silicone Turbo Air Inlet Ducts
EVOMS ClubSport HED Ignition Coils w/ Denso Platinum Spark Plugs
Bosch 83mm Throttle Body with Larger Intake Plenum
EVOMS Lightweight Billet Underdrive Crank Pulley
EVOMS EVT775 Software Calibration with Optional ?Dual Mode? Chip Switch*
Porsche / EVOMS Vacuum Line Update Kit
Porsche Fuel Filter

In addition, getting stainless steel brake lines and a desperately needed brake fluid flush for more stopping power as well as the the GT2 slave cylinder conversion, which I have been waffling over for the last year. Trans is coming out anyway...so, I thought what the heck

Aside from the BBI Stage III exhaust, power is stock...for now.

Some pics from the shop

Coming off the dyno for a baseline run



On the lift



Baseline dyno (she's a strong one)



Hope to get her back later this month....perfect temps in the desert for low IAT's

Go away! This is a BMW forum!

You're living my dream Ed. Please take good care of that baby cause if you're ever going to sell it, I will probably be first in line. I'll let you take the depreciation hit. hahahahaha

LOL, Tony. You crack me up
If Ryan ever gets his ass in gear, I'm sure his setup will give this one a run for the money. As far as selling? I have too much invested to sell it. If I run out of money, I'll likely have to sell my house and live in my car

HAHAHA. Yeah guess that was a bit out there.

You and Test Jet pretty much have identical power mods from EVOMS with the 775 package (or I remember him saying he was upgrading to that package). Your car is black and his is white. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are nemesis in GI Joe. Snake Eyes is in all black and Storm Shadow dresses in white.

Wasn't that obvious??!!

Hahaha. Thanks for the clarification. Mike actually has me beat since he has the 'extra' dual mode chip switch function. Adds about 3lbs more of boost on a dedicated race gas file. Who am I kidding...I'll probably get that eventually
