Dinan stage 4 M2

My family member recently purchased an M2 and straight to our local independent Dinan dealer.
They made us a sweet deal on stage 4 installation
We dyno'd it in complete stock form on a low reading Dynodynamics it made 300 HP / 300 FTLB. Full Dinan kit including larger turbo, intercooler, intake, exhaust and tune. Overall impression the power is very smooth and linear. After 3K rpm it really picks up and is a rocket !
I love the exhaust note with only the rear muffler and in sport + the crackles are very noticeable and more over so then when it was stock.
The vehicle is DCT and the shifts are precise and it pulls nice thru the gears.
Also added BBS CI-R wheels. Needs more low. Suspension and swaybars up next
Have not dyno ran it after but once we do I'll post up the gains.
Thanks for looking

i love the look on the Dinan exhaust. If there were any tips that look like that, I'd definitely get (i'm fine w/ the stock exhaust).

Nice build and pics!

Would love to go for a ride in this. I'm in Lake Elsinore. Been debating between Dinan or BM3. Shoot me a PM please.

I am interested in seeing what the bigger turbo yields in gains. I have all other mods except the bigger turbo and Dinantronics tune.

It's only a matter of time before you yearn for more power.....

I know, its lasted about 2-3 months then the new found power settles in and I am looking for more.

You're not alone. Many enthusiasts, including myself share this addiction.
I'm ready for Dinan to release a never-to-be stage 5 tuner. Just 1-2 more psi is all I ask.***scratches skin like a crackhead***

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback.

Car is a blast to drive !
Dyno will be coming soon. Its been over 100 degrees everyday for the past week and very humid. Waiting till it cools down a bit to get back on.

I was initially disappointed with my Stage 4 because I didn't feel an appreciable increase over Stage 1 to justify the investment. About 5 weeks in, the car started developing a weird screech/howl on hard acceleration. I'm thinking bad wastegate or bad turbo. Take it to my guy, and it turns out the initial installer never tightened the clamps on both sides of the intercooler! There were also other fittings that weren't properly secured. After everything was secured, this thing is TOTALLY different!! An absolute rocket! I'm running 295s at the rear, and I'm still getting wheelspin on hard acceleration in 3rd gear. Gives me an excuse to go to the PS 4S early now cause these PSSs aren't going to last long. Very happy with my investment now.

Yes!! THAT was what I was talking about! I'm not nuts. At least for reporting the same thing . I've learned to modulate the throttle to avoid it, but I can still provoke spin on full throttle in third gear on a warm, bone dry track if I want. It really is right on the edge of usable power with this kit. Any significant power boost over this would be seriously traction limited, at least with stock rubber.

295 rears, sweet! Stock wheels? I assume no spacers. Any rubbing?
