Jan - I would love to hear an update from you as to the progress of the R56 tuning. It looks like you have quite a few done now and I am wondering what you think of the tune so far, how you think the tune will evolve over the coming months, what mods do you see working best with your tune, etc.? Thanks

intercooler is needed
working on our water/meth kit (this should be a huge gain)
downpipe if looking for max power

should have the VVT map very soon now

I'm looking forward to getting a hybrid on this combo asap

Jan speaks nothing but the truth. I have been so caught up with driving the car that I haven't submitted them to youtube. Yes, they are done and I will try and get them up by friday! Jan - I can't tell you how impressed I am.

When the map is out, please tell us!! Hybrid turbo I'm assuming? I've contacted a couple places so far...only one response and to my surprise they were already working on a turbo upgrade for the R56! Throw your meth kit in...looks like some serious HP/TRQ!

Hey Jan, I remember you mentioned something about Rochester and PA. Are going to do tuning/dyno days while there? If so I need to contact people and get involved for this!

Hey DT, did you contact gpopshop.com about a hybrid K03/K04 turbo? I sent them an email over the weekend and they said they were currently doing one and to check back next week. Just wondering if that was the same shop you were referring to.

Yes, they were one of the companies I contacted and I also contacted Blouchturbo.com since they are closer to me. Hope to hear good things from them.

Guarantee I will be there as your R56 example if Jan can get this VVT map for the car. Otherwise, I may take a ride to see you guys get tuned...

Like I said, I'm there if he gets that map in time!

With that said....Jan?
