Looking forward to your build man. I've seen a few installs but no logs or reviews...kinda weird.

How was the course? Worth it? I'd like to start dabbling in tuning myself when the car is running. I don't want to be at the mercy of someone else to tune my car if I'm at the track and need to make adjustments.
I helped my friend install and tune his Speedtech kit with a BW Sxe 364. What kind of review would you like?
It look stock. Sounds stock for the most part except the BW turbo sound is pretty loud. Hits 20 psi around 4k with the journal bearing turbo.
Just something that shows some spool characteristics since it's a short runner manifold and all. That snippet looks good! Thanks bud!
We are still playing around with vanos to try to improve spool, but the Journal bearing turbo is kinda lazy
It's a bit dead until it spools.

I used to think a JB and a BB would spool kinda similar...interesting. Full boost by 4k is still not bad though. I'm sure once you guys figure out the vanos & spool tables it'll be awesome.We are still playing around with vanos to try to improve spool, but the Journal bearing turbo is kinda lazy

We've pretty much left it on what we thought was the best settings for now. Once spooled she pulls hard.
It's dope Andre knows his stuff. I highly recommend it.
Yes he does a very good of teaching fundamentals and science behind tuning. I use to think tunning was like a black art but its pretty straight forward for the most part. He also does a good job of debunking popular tunning myths like running lean makes more power when in reality is there's a huge range of AFRs where max power can be obtained so the best case scenario would be to run close as you can get to max power rich to keep the in cylinder temps and egt down. All the stuff he teaches can be directly applied to the N54. The n54 is pretty easy tune since its all closed loop stuff. The hard part is the boost control system.
Most definitely am I’m just waiting for the turbine housing to show up. I had to get it modified since BW turbos come with that ridiculous flange that nobody uses lol
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033990N8/ ... I have one of these. It's superb. Cheap. Easy to put up, take down, put away, roll around, et cetera. With the current coupon it is $135 shipped on Prime. Ridiculously cheap. I use mine to put it over the BBQ smoker when it rains and I need to spend the day sitting out watching the smoker (hey ... it's a rough life but someone has to do it), or work on the zero turn out in the middle of the field during summer if it breaks down. Would work well as a pop-up for shade or against rain if working outside on the car.

Nice gesture fmorelli but he lives in Florida near me. It rains sideways here so that wont work.
No rain for this weekend but it is hot as hell. I almost want to say f it I'll wait till fall lol
