I removed the cowl cover and hid it under there and snuck the wires through the split in the seal. This, along with mounting the phone to the windshield improved my bluetooth connection.

I don't think these numbers have crossed into the "danger zone" yet. Obviously only time will tell but given that this is a modular engine and shares a lot of parts with the B58, it should stand to be pretty stout.

The problem with this dyno numbers is, you don't really know how it translates to real world performance. How much those extra hp translate in quicker 0-100kph or 1/4 mile.

Keep in mind though for the 300 hp 330 ft-lb version of the b48 in some of the newer minis, they are using a reinforced crankshaft, larger main bearings, new pistons and a lower compression ratio compared to the 330i B48/B46. The fact that BMW did not just "tune" to achieve these numbers, is slightly concerning.

With a well established tune, the risk is very low (or none) but for early adopters beware - a flash can be risky (just my .02) because who knows what has been changed in your file. One can adjust the wrong tables and still make more power.

It's worth noting that on the papadakis racing 1000bhp supra they reused the stock crank and bearings (main and rod) if I remember correctly (167hp/cylinder, 11:1 CR)
Only upgrading the pistons and rods themselves (B48 have a shit tier rod than B58 but others they share pistons, bearings and crank*) *obviously the crank isn't identical between a 6cyl and 4cyl, but same design/construction |

With that said, you always run the additional risk of failure when tuning your car, whatever component that is - nothing is 100% fail-proof. On a side note. Here is my 0-60 run with this exact setup and 275 Mih PS4 using coded launch control. |

Nice, way cool. Looks like you went to 3 psi finally.
It is useful to see the 0-60 times drop with increasing boost pressure, although I am surprised at the big drop from 2.6 to 3.0.

It's also launch control. When brake torquing the converter, I would get monstrous wheel hop - to the point where it felt like my car was going to break. Once I coded launch control, zero wheel hop and crazy acceleration. |

The dragy box is much more accurate than a phone. I can't speak for all phones. But. I've used various timer apps on my Galaxy S20 and OP7T. And they were WAY off compared to the dragy. The dragy is spot on. It makes wherever you're at a proper drag strip with times that are accurate. Only issue (which is present in the case of phones too) is that it needs a good satellite signal. But yes. Extremely accurate. I agree that it is expensive and doesn't make sense if you'll use it only once or twice. Or maybe buy one, use it and then sell it for a slightly reduced price? If you want to buy one that is.

Has anybody stacked BM3 or JB4 with the turbo transformer? Very curious to know. Probably not safe for the engine

There is no reason to stack bm3 with any other piggyback; it's unsafe and does not generate more power.

Is this with Turbo Transformer on a 330i? The 93 Octane @ +3psi acceleration numbers looks like the best possible numbers through a custom tune. It's surprising because a custom tune on Bootmod will run, an additional $300-$700....putting your grand total over $1000 (including BM). Your telling me for $199 the TT I would have got similar results ?! I'm kind of bummed.
