Dinan Stage 2 to Stage 3

kgaler · 07-09-2014, 01:47 PM

I presently have Dinan stg 2 installed and get a peak boost of 15lbs. I'm going to stg 3 next week. Anybody know what I should see for boost after the upgrade?

I'm using a P3 Cars boost gauge.

My guess would be anywhere from 17-19, thats what a lot of guys are boosting at with JB4 on the higher end maps. I would assume Dinans stage 3 is similar

It's probably 16-16.5. I would be surprised if it was anything over that.

16+ ish depending on how hot it is out. This is up from 14+

im about to do this too in next few days...did you buy the dinan oil cooler or another one?

I'm having the Dinan intercooler and oil cooler installed. I was thinking of doing this for a year or so but I was concerned that the dealer (Ridgefield, CT) would screw it up. Recently, Dinan opened up their distribution to non-dealers so I'm having it done at a local shop where there are are real BMW experts. Autotechnic in New Milford. They are changing the charge pipe to ER also.

Well, it's installed. I was only able to drive it for an hour or so and now it's at BMW for a problem with the headlamp.

So far it seems like the boost didn't change at all. It still peaks around 15psi. The car does run at least 10Deg cooler probably due to the larger oil cooler.

Do you think it takes more time for the tune to settle in before the boost increases?

The installer is asking Dinan about it but I haven't heard yet.
