Heading home from work today I was waiting at a red light. To my right, up comes a black e46 m3. We both glanced at each other, but when it went green we both took off nice and easy.
As I accelerated, I kept her in a lower gear, just in case.
Reached over, DSC off.
I guess he heard my being in a lower gear, because I heard him downshift. I gave a couple blips of the throttle, and he did too.
I gave him the hit, as we took off from about 40 or so I was in 2nd. With the hit he jumped out about a half. By the top of 2nd I had pulled even, quick shift to 3rd and I was steady pulling. By about 90 I had him by a couple cars.
Hit the brakes, he pulled even, I gave thumbs up, he said nice run. Exchanged quick compliments on the jet black m3 and my imola m5 and went our separate ways.
A quick fun run.
My mods in sig.
Not sure if he had any mods.

nice kill/run. I have had a couple that I put down, but be careful, there are some sneaky ones out their with mods, that's not noticeable and will shock you. Had a few of those also. lol

Good kill, those M5s when healthy and bolted can pull pretty hard esp upstairs.

I'm after bigger fish, I should be running with bolted tuned E60 Ms... We just found out why I was only trapping 108 and and in the mid 12s. Car had many simultaneous issues including crushed Bov and major leaky TB.

Yeah it's running really rich hitting 10.0 at times, not sure on the retune yet b/c I'm not sure if it was tuned with certain issues like air leaks, etc...
Thanks man but trust me, I'm not going crazy about the trap except that I know it's got more in it, esp once the issues are resolved.

Exactly, and now it's all making sense why I wasn't.

Reset adaption to see if the new closed loop feedback will pull the open loop tuning down. If not and you think the car is still off, get the retune. It seems like you have attempted to fix some of these hardware/installation issues with tuning so I would not be surprised if the tuning is now off. A smoke test or DIY test with "Butters boost leak tester" should have exposed these two things you just found.

Under pressure or just smoked? Ideally you want to test with 20 psi to see if there is a leak. Butters tool allows that. We found a leak where my HFM mount was welded to the cold side turbo piping but it was evident only under pressure.
Smoke testers like I have @ my shop, are intended for evap systems. They only pressurize systems to 1/2-1 psi. The majority of boost leaks will not show up with that little pressure. A proper test would be pressurizing system to 20-25psi.

The leaks were evident under very little Boost... Remember it's supercharged not turbo, so I can be barely in Boost and experience symptoms from leaks. As a matter of fact, Most of the times the car was acting up I wasn't boosting at all.

Yeah I dunno about gaining 8mph on the back end, but I can stay close enough if it's running right.
I can run a smaller pulley and would obviously have to retune, but I'm Leary about my motor handling the extra boost.

Well, jbim, I guess if you throw on a smaller pulley you might finally have a reason to do an LSx swap and turbo it lol.
