What's the best bang for ur buck hp upgrade for a 07 328i?

Transport3r · 11-02-2010, 09:15 PM

a 335i

Sorry that was mean...
I'd say tune>header>intake in that order.

Either Headers for a bolt on

or a true Tune for software

depending on which road you want to take.

2 best options for hp gains for the $$ that are currently available

Lol I know, i almost pulled the flyswatter out on him

the 330 manifold swap is a useful mod, but does require a tune to really maximize the gains

how much power does that add?

Gavin@MMW · 11-02-2010, 09:25 PM

you get about 8whp and 8wtq by just bolting the conversion on, but with a tune - a 325 can make 330 numbers.

If you do a 330 manifold it only adds peak power but loses a lot of midrange. It might actually be slower with no tune. Make sure you get a tune if you go the manifold route.

you're never going to get huge gains, with that said torque multiplier... get a lsd with change in gearing =)

gintani tune or AA tune. pbx for the best bang for your buck...but doesnt add much.

intake and exhaust help... but I would go with a tune before anything.
