I'm looking to expand on this with charge pipe, and catted downpipe and maybe a different tune. What are y'all's recommendations as a path forward? Would I gain a lot by switching to Bootmod3 or JB4 at this point?
TIA

Likely not a whole lot. Stage 2 Dinantronics equipped M235s with a downpipe, intake, charge pipe, and 93 octane was putting down between 366whp and 383whp and 381wtq and 394wtq depending on gear and in pretty terrible ambient conditions (85 degree temps). That's without an intercooler too. An intercooler would free up a bit of power. The numbers are quite similar to those running BM3 and MHD flash tunes. If you like the driveability with Stage 3 and don't have any need to datalog, I wouldn't bother doing a flash tune. A JB4 is a waste of time as the Dinantronics piggyback is way more advanced and more importantly, safer and reliable.

You should definitely get a charge pipe and downpipe though. The DP will add some power (~15-20whp/20-25wtq) and more importantly, reduce heat/load on the turbo. |
Interesting, I didn't realize I already have similar numbers to those running BM3 and MHD flash tunes. I always assumed I was leaving some on the table having what I've heard is a much more conservative tune going with Dinan. I have zero complaints with drive-ability and overall experience. Just now that I'm out of warranty I figure why not see what more other times can offer. Based on your words I'll keep what I have most likely. Can't believe I went this long on stock CP, I feel lucky.
Do you have a preference on brand? I'm leaning towards VRSF or FTP
