That looks like clutch slip around 4k RPM where you noticing any slippage?Looks like it pulls alot of timing with temps.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Yes the R makes alot of low end torque and it's noticeable driving it. Agreed on the exhaust nite. The m series sound wicked. I will be doing something to this exhaust soon.30 less whp and same torque as my old stock bmw E46 m3 used to make but with a much fatter torque curve (about 30lbs delta across the curve). Not bad power for 1/2 the price of a e46 m3 when new! and much better ROI when bolting on mods or a tune. Although better engine and exhaust noises out a straigh 6cyl at 8000RPM! Love these cars.
Yeah temps affect these cars hard. Some mornings on the way to work my IATs are in the 60s and 70s, the car feels like a beast compared to later in the afternoon when I leave seeing 100+ IATsIf this ECU is is anything like the 1.5t Ecu it definitely pulls timing with heat which means Kcontrol goes up and you wont reach max boost. I was seeing IATs in the 130s over the weekend on my ext and Kcontrol was in the .60s with max boost at 18.5 psi. 3 hrs later in the evening with IATs back down in the 110 range it was back to normal and pulling 21.5 psi.
