what to do next

since my car has been sitting at the dealership i have been thinking about what to do next when i get it back right now i have:

byt/tf tune @ 23 psi 311/370 (on stock clutch & stock fmic)
megan catless dp
forge bpv
treadstone tr10 fmic
k&n sri
torque solution front and rear engine mounts
ky 6 puck clutch

i think when i may just lower it for now i honestly don't know what else to do for more power, i plan to visit nick (byt) to see if he can squeeze anything more out of it

I have been looking just can't figure out what would be the right one
I will have a brand new k04 and more than likely new motor in my car when I get it back

You got the main power bolt on's. I would say Big turbo as other have stated lol. Maybe some charge pipes, ceramic breakpads n rotors.. etc you'll need them eventually.

3076. I don't know much about turbos but that seems like a favorite for making over 350 hp

People are having tuning issues with the BNR 2871?

Like who exactly?

Taking time to tune something right with multiple fine tunes after the base tune on 93 octane, and tuning for different blends of E85 are 2 entirely different things.

I wouldn't call the later, "issues", as much as breaking new ground on a turbo few of us have run so far.

Kudo's to the guys trying to get more power with E blends, I will be doing Meth Inj on mine along with a 2.4 TB swap in June.

I don't have E readily available to me yet

As far as I know,

BYT has tuned the BNR 2871 successfully
Trifecta has tuned the BNR 2871 sucessfully
DDM Works has tuned the BNR 2817 successfully (Kappa platform)

I'm not sure if Termi or anyone else had yet, so forgive me if I left any of you out.

They are considered issues to me since I wouldn't have time to have my car down without a rental I would feel more comfortable once all the tuning down packed sorry if my wording came off work

No biggie man but the majority of the down time with the BNR 2871, is the actual swap time, not the tune.

The 2 tuners I've mentioned that already tuned the BNR 2871 turbo's should have base files to work with

What's the E85 situation like in your area? Other than a turbo ....maybe look for a catback and that will complete the catalog of bolt-on's . I know its more for sound than power at this point ...but if you eventually do a swap it will come in handy .
