Thumbs up Jim Pak Joins the HPF Stage 2.5 Club!!

Jim was our first turbo kit customer from over 2 1/2 years ago. He made a special trip and flew in to Bimmerfest 07 to check out what we had accomplished with the E46 M3. Shortly after that he shipped us his car and we spent a painstaking 3 months getting our "First" stage 1 turbo system added to it and running right. He drove his car for about a year, set a 60-130mph record, and sold the kit off his car to Stephan. He recently got the bug again and this time decided to go all the way to stage 2.5. Here are pictures of his build up and dyno graphs. Congratulations Jim... Your car is now on the transport back to you with a SH** LOAD of Power!

Race Fuel was in the tank for all 4 maps. Pump gas power output will be higher when pump gas is used.

Probably always been my favorite color. Great work. Definitely the route I would have taken, pure stock appearance.

Thanks. I thought about going with some aftermarket wheels, but those ZCP rims are sweet!

I was gonna say...

I'd give it a bit a of a stance,
but not one you'd find in a rice field.
