Currently 2016 M235i N55 with sport dp, cp, MPE, Intake, JB4 map5 with e85 mixture

my thoughts on potential options;

1. add meth... would this even help though as I will likely be close to the fueling limits with the e85 mixture...should help with timing for more power???

2. Pure stage 2... on e85 mixture seems like it would be a good bump in power, but people say to take full advantage you need to upgrade fueling

3.Pure stage 2 with additional fueling... can anyone chime in on the functions of upgrading the lpfp vs port injection...also from what I understand there is no hpfp availible for the n55 yet

4. Enzo stage 3 turbo (in development)... I am not really interested in this...atleast not yet... I want into the 400-450-500 hp range first


is it possible to run the pure stage 2 on pump/e85 mix without additional tuning? Could you go that route then upgrade fueling at a later point?
If you want serious power I highly recommend upgrading your turbo along with additional fueling. Since you have access to e85 I would skip meth and go straight to a port injection kit. Without additional fueling you'll be limited to around 16-17psi to redline with the pure stage 2 on pump gas or low ethanol mix. To really take advantage of the upgraded turbo you'll need port injection, upgraded lpfp and an n20 tmap which will allow you to run upwards of 25psi to redline.

To answer your last question, yes you could do the upgrades in stages and add the port injection down the road. Tuning wise you'll be fine with just the jb4 but at these power levels I would recommend a back end flash.
