B58 Stage 2+
Hi guys, I hope you are fine.
I'm writing you from Argentina, and I'm the happy owner of a 240i M package. 2017, 15200 miles aprox. Car is stock and I'm going to a stage 2+. In Argentina is impossible to find accesories and tuning pieces but now I have a friend in miami and she is going to bring me the pieces. Mi idea is: MHD or BM3 Stage 2+ XHP Stage 3 VRSF 4,5 catted downpipe B58TU HPFP Short Ram/Boxed Intake Meth is not an option for me so I think this is the best I can get from the vehicle with the stock turbo. I'm in the correct way? Is there something better to do? About the HPFP: I have read the entire forum and I understand that the b58TU HPFP is enough for my objetives, the dorch2 is necessary for methanol or big turbo and the dorch 1 is similar to the b58tu HPFP but more expensive. About de Intake VR performance or AFE power or other? Short RAM or boxed intake? Are they similar in performance? I like the sound of the short ram but I don't know what the experience with dirt inside the engine. I know some topics have already been discussed but I only have one chance to order and I don't want to make a mistake. Thank you very much to all! Best regards, |

I recommend an open intake with a heat shield for the best airflow sound and to keep the temps in check.

When you upgrade the turbo, you will get more from the open intake since it has a higher flow. The heat shield helps reduce the air temp so you get the best of both worlds. Note that the difference between the intakes will not be significant so I would spend too much time overthinking which one to get.
