Roscio

the only way to have a reliable measurement is using a 10hz gps. That said, it's obviously a fast car. My 272, when stock, was 0-100 --> 5.5 sec, 100-200 --> 18.4 sec Stage1 0-100 --> 4.36, 100-200 --> 12.57 For under 19 seconds on 0-200 seconds it has to have been remapped.

Mine is still stuck in Shenzhen

Yeah, but without using its full potential (wise choice) you'll be fine with stock intercooler, even with a LM440. Ok, thanks, i will ask you later. For now mod season is closed. DSG map improvement and B6 damptronic are for now on top of the list, then haldex controller and maybe rear brakes. But, again, low 10s is such a great result with almost only a software remap, truly mindblowing. REVO guys did a great job for sure, TVS too on dsg IMO, but this DNUA engine is better than expectations. Good to know!

These are truly impressive numbers, although I believe that the low temperatures contribute in this moment to increase the air flow and get this power output. I believe this summer you will experience a remarcable power loss without a bigger ic. Anyway good job! Now your turbo works almost to its limit, as is normal with a stage2, but I think that its most important how carefully you drive your car, this is what can make a difference in its longevity. Also impressive is that you're using stock exhaust! ps. i am waiting for your long term feedback on haldex controller Wich downpipe did you choose? I Look forward to your numbers

this is exactly why I am so happy I chose Superb. Who doesn't know it doesn't know that the Superb has nothing to envy to a 3 series 5 series (yes, you should compare it to a 530i / 540i x drive). Superb is a great way to keep a low profile, IMO. About the rear wiper you will not miss it. I didn't want to add it and I can confirm that I don't need it. And it also has a cleaner look.

Thank you @rmahon999, i've just ordered it! I'm sure if it works as it should, it's money well spent.

Since airflow is reduced on low rev range, albeit slightly, this should be the cause. I don't know if this is something that can be fixed or improved with the right map. When I drive at say 40 kmh in 4th gear, and push lightly gas pedal, almost nothing happens. If I push it a little harder it engages the second gear and I waste 0,5 lt of petrol. But I'm used to it, now I drive almost always in M or S mode. And above 2.800-3.000 rpm there is always a smile. How do you fell the car now? You have already tried to push it?

To me it seems that it's the exhaust valve. What isn't there can't be broken... (don't pay attention, I'm referring to those who point out that it was better before when exhaust valves were still fitted)

I don't know how much the L380X differs from the original IS38. But I can tell you that in my case (with a tte535) this problem is very evident, driving in D it's almost unusable because it upshifts below 2,500 rpm and the turbo starts to spool at 2800.

@RobertJitca don't waste money on the rears, the one you have to improve are the front ones. But those 340mm discs are not the best solution. I had those discs OEM, but had to change them because for a heavy car like ours those will fade after some hard braking. IMO you need fixed calipers, better pads and new brake lines if you really want to improve stopping power.

No wind noise at all while it's closed, personally I'm happy with it and would buy it again.

Honestly, it never crossed my mind to replace it because this chrome doesn't bother me. But I think I'd prefer it all blackened.

Very interesting, I have also been interested in a haldex controller for quite some time now. A curiosity, apart from having chosen DSA for the developer's background, did you still evaluate other manufacturers? In any case, your first feedback is very interesting. I am waiting to know what your final setting will be... Can you please explain me how did you set a full esp off? ...very interesting!!

In fact, I had your thought too. But with the front all blacked out that shiny and chrome logo doesn't match in my opinion...

Here you go

So every cloud has a silver lining. I understand this is a substantial expense but at least you keep the possibility of increasing performance in the future. Which TTE turbo would you be interested in? Are air intake and intercooler stock? Also, personal opinion, the new map may only have accentuated a problem that you may already had on your turbo.

It's not bad, not bad. especially in this photo it looks really good. but I have the M3 E46 boot spoiler in my heart and on the Superb it would be a bit like trying to copy that spoiler. But of course it's just my subjective view!

Yes those are very close each others, but it should be fine. Boot spoiler is something that I don't like on Superb, I like the clean look (for now...).

Time for winter tyres, and back on the heavy OEM trinity wheels. Had to put 13mm spacers on the front due to bbk, and wheels still fit barely. I risked not being able to mount these original rims...but at the end it was ok with a margin of almost 1 mm! Also fitted 16mm spacers on the back. 13mm spacers: This last photo shows how close the caliper is to the inside of the rim...

That means you drove those 200 miles with a smile on your face! This is the way.

I just realized that I could have installed the central resonator instead of the GPFs: I would have had more space available and I would have struggled less with the transmission shaft ! hope this can at least help someone else in the future...

No, I'd like to have a V8. Or at least a 6 cyl engine, and Bmw's I6 is music to my ears. But I get that today's I4 turbo engines are capable of good performances, like 6cyl were till few years ago. Now if you buy a 330i or 530i you get a 2.0 L I4 . in the 90s a cousin of mine had a 320i E36 with I6 engine, I can still remember how lovely the sound was...

Yes they are. True, actually now the sound is slightly more present, I think because of the central resonator that has settled. Nothing relevant, indeed, maybe it's almost better now. However, it always remains silent, especially when used in D.

I think that a custom exhaust is the only solution, and it will be costly. I had to modify my stock exhaust but i wanted it to be quiet. Now it's silent at low rpm, inside you can hear it only when pushing hard. You have to ask to a exhaust specialist what you want, it's the only way you can get the sound what you're searching for. Here's mine:
