If you were to upgrade your turbo...

IS20 hybrid. I prefer the power coming in earlier in the RPM's over the IS38 variant. For now I'm good with IS20 stage 2.

Honestly, I didn’t think the tunes were even going to be much different from the previous 220 hp versions... I was under the impression I’d was just a little tweak in the current tune.

With the IS38 and the APR tune the gains are 153 HP and 148 FT-LBS of torque.

Better figure out how you'll put that to the ground and stop believing internet posts.
This is where I'm at and even in warm Florida with well surfaced roads I've yet to come up with an answer.

and consider that:

the latest BMW M3, a RWD, has 8.27 lbs/hp and you are proposing a 7.77 lbs/hp FWD car. Compare the contact patch surface and loads of these two and you'll understand.

He was talking about the difference in tunes already out and his 2019. As to why the tunes for the 2019's aren't out yet.

I think you misunderstood that particular part of my post. It was stated the current tunes for 2019s had not been released yet, I was saying that with the 2019s being just a 228 hp (8hp bump) that the factory tune was likely just a small tuning tweak.

Hmm... I would probably go with a VTT turbo. They've told me that they are the best because reasons.

 

[sshlyk]

Make sure you upgrade your stock tires first to put power to the ground

Your right, stupid fast. Due to chemical reactions and physical reactions, electric is faster than gas combustion. I like to hear the motor and smell the gas ect like any American, but you gotta admit, electric is faster by a land slide
