My aboslute favorite email from my guy in the UAE about PP. I literally belly laugh everytime I read it. A little insight into what is going on over there.

"You got me excited to what pp performance are doing to the M5 Who in god earth calls an upgrade
Stage VIP Plus :p


U know they abuse the people here
Those pp performance are the masters of robbery


Now u get a tune for the M5 from switzer
That's ok for 5000 dollars


I am sure this VIP plus is just a software and upgraded wheels and they will sell it for at least 60,000 dhs ( 16 thousand dollars )


People when rich in this country are filthy rich plus stupid that's the issue


Pp performance in UAE is one Arab guy and one german guy
The german guy calls his friend in Germany and tells him to send him the tune
And u pay 5000 dollars for tune
It's not even a protune

They are making a lot of money


My first tune was pp with bren tune I rapped them , bren cost me 200 dollars
They made me and my friends pay 5000 dollars per tune


They can sell $#@! inside a box and call it stage 5 plus balls and make money in this country :p


I feel sorry for us really I feel sorry we will never grow smarter "

True!!!
It's all about marketing and having stupid customers with big pockets lol...

they are not MHI turbos

Looks like they're using MHI manifolds, though.

I'm gonna guess Borg Warner internals? The germans tend to like B-W.

People are literally talking out of their asses here about PPPerformance. Me and my friends tuned a lot of cars at their garage, and true they used to get some ready made maps from Germany, not all of them, and there isn't anything wrong with that when they show the results for it.

Now they tune all the cars on their dyno and it costs from 500$ (VW gti) to about 3500$ (M5), not only are they producing a $#@! ton of HP but the BMW cars are still under warranty even after being heavily modded by PPPerformance.

They sure do have cheerleaders, that's for sure.

OH OH OH I want a shot.

TALK nos.... talk numbers? Theoretical numbers?

Ah! Theoretically, how much power can a BMW DCT hold?

[Tony@VargasTurboTech]

We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response, we have found our tester, and have about 5 back ups if needed. We will be posting results as soon as we get them!

Well, from looking at how the DCT N54 are holding together, the S55/DCT probably doesn't have anything to worry about for the time being

[e92ttking]

vargas make some goodies for the 550!
I wonder if m5 turbos will fit on a 550 lol

550 and M5 upgrades are finished. First set of M5's are shipping tomorrow for testing, 550's still looking for a tester. We are not sitting on our hands over here...

Don't lie, you're just gearing up for the "stranger."

The limit was shown with my dynograph.

[quattr0]

This car must be so fun, I am honestly considering looking into buying or leasing one. Stage2+ power with a DCT, and minimal upgrades. Jesus Christo!

Feel free to front page this....

Let me know how your leasing or buying goes. 2 dealers turned me down with $900/month leasing M3, 36 mos, 15k miles, $0 down (Adaptive M, Harman/Kardon, DCT, Light Wheels upgrade, no Exec nor Lighting). I'm trying to see 72k drive-out (buying instead)

Crikey mate

But seriously, if one wanted to push the envelope with an F80 Bimmer, could one get 750 rwhp with a new turbo set up on stock DCT

Ace really wants to know

[happycakes]

Excited to see the added gains for this type of scenario. What are you expecting the gains to be based on your other similar type projects?

600 whp is where this will start and proceed from there
