I'll probably just be using Map 5 with the E85 BMS BEF. With my upgraded inlets and running E35-40, I should be able to push 20+psi without issues. I had previously been cautious to turn up the boost because I was trying to maximize the life of my OEM turbos, but now I have some peace of mind knowing I'll be calling in reinforcements here in a few months.

Well the weather finally cleared enough for me to spend some dedicated time with the new brakes. I found a desolate stretch of road and bedded in the new setup. Not only does this setup look sensational, but the stopping power is improved with the new pads and rotors. Time will tell if the dust is any different than the OEM pads. I also had a few hours to kill this evening, so I hosed off the car to knock off all the pollen and went to take some glory shots of the new setup.
As far as the aesthetics of the car, I couldn't be happier. The side skirt extensions and front lip really bring everything full circle, and thankfully, clearance doesn't seem to have been compromised all that much. I've been over some interesting terrain today and didn't scrape on anything.
Enough blabbering -- I'll let the pictures do the talking.
And tucked away safely in my own driveway. Away from possible door dings.
For those wondering, Winston is enjoying the new digs as well. Did you spot in him in the pictures above? He's a big fan of the new braking ability and couldn't quite understand why he couldn't come along for the bedding procedure.
