Article: SSR Performance F80 M3 S55 stock turbo comparison to Pure Turbos Stage 2 on 91 octane pump gas with PTF Bootmod3 tuning

[Sticky]

Those of you outside of California that do not have to deal with 91 octane pump gas do not know how good you have it. SSR Performance recently built this BMW F80 M3 and compared the stock turbochargers tuned on 91 pump to Pure Turbos upgraded units also on 91 octane pump.

The car is tuned through the PTF Bootmod3 S55 tuning system. The baseline run is with a Stage 2 OTS (off the shelf map) and the factory turbochargers:

The after run of 566 rear wheel horsepower includes the following:

-Pure Stage 2 Turbos
-Bootmod3 Custom Tune (flash only)
-SSR Performance Downpipes
-SSR Performance Intakes
-SSR Performance Chargepipes
-Remus Catback Exhaust
-Stock Fueling System

566 rear wheel horsepower on crappy 91 octane pump gas in California summer heat is impressive. It would be more impressive if the correction factor was displayed on the graph. RPM would not hurt either.

SSR Performance is shooting for 650 wheel horsepower with an ethanol blend on the factory fuel system. BimmerBoost will be sure to update you on their progress.
