Lawrence shipped us his unbelievably clean and low mileage M3 to us to get our stage 2 turbo system. This car is one of the cleanest we've seen and had one of the cleanest VF supercharger installs we've seen as well. His car made fantastic numbers using both products. With the VF Stage 2 S/C kit running the T-Trim Supercharger and boost juice methanol injection Lawrences M3 made 449rwhp on the very first pull. With the HPF Stage 2 turbo system, his M3 made 647rwhp at the highest setting on race and methanol, and 454rwhp at the lowest setting on pump gas.
Here are the dyno results and some pictures of his car before and after the HPF turbo kit was installed.

Congrats on the kit!
Care to comment on why such low numbers from the VF with T-trim?
I thought that mix was good for an easy 500 rwhp?

no offense but what is the need to quote the original post by chris?!?!
Chris amazing install and very clean car. Question though, why do you guys use the Green tape instead of using Blue? The Blue has a lower tack to it and less chance of pulling paint or leaving a residue. I have had problems in the past with the Green tape and it leaving a residue that would not come off.

That's awesome. If I had an M3, HPF would be the only way to go :)
I love where you put your boost guages etc, I was thinking about mounting mine there too.

no, it has 2 widebands on it. there is one right where the downpipe starts and the second one is way back, after the wastegate gets routed back in. I know what an EGT probe looks like. :) Just wondering why they put another wideband right where the downpipe starts, in front of the EGT probe. :loco:
oh, and by the way, Congrats on the new setup Lawrence!!!!

The rear oxygen sensor right before the downpipe splits into 2, is for the AEM gauge which the HPF computer uses the signal from. The second one, up by the turbo outlet- looks like it is for the other AFR gauge in the center of the dash, probably an existing gauge that the owner wanted to keep functioning.
now he has two gauges telling him his AFR! just in case!
I have read a lot about the HPF system, I use it for inspiration on my car.
