I am never good with surprises so I will just spill the beans...:shhh: I ordered my AA stage 2.5 kit two weeks ago. The wait is excruciating. Parts of the Kit has arrive and waiting for a few more stuff :excited:

Also when I get the kit I will have the following items up for sale:

2001-2006 E46 3 series: 330i 330ci 330xi + Convertible
2004-2006 E83 X3: X3 3.0i

2. Stett m54b30 Intake Boot (Black)
3. F1 Autohaus 325i/330i Ceramic-Metallic-Coated Headers

I can't find the info on AA site. What is the stage 2.5? Does it have a head spacer?

Not much of an update. Missed 3 out of 3 attempts. I live in the woods and no one would take my package. Also, have a Camera around the house so I'm covered. So this whole weekend was wasted :/ I need to finish the install. Hopefully, FedEx can send it to a Local FedEx Location. This all happen due to I have to sign for the Package...:tsk:

That sounds like fun! Can't wait to see it finished.

I did a Compression Test last night and they did well

I also left the guage there for 5 mins with pressure to see does it leak. Leaking is little to none at all. Motor has about 84k.

Three things:
1. Pull the fuse 53 out and crank several times to bleed out the fuel.
2. Follow the ignition wire to DME box and disconnect two connectors to stop power supply to ignition coil.
3. Remove DISA.
4. Crank motor over 3 times.
5. Results

1. 185
2. 184
3. 185
4. 184
5. 185
6. 186

I spent like 15 mins on today. Was installing the Long Return Intercooler Pipe and saw that it is interfering with the Auto Tranny Cooler.

So, I bend the line to clear it for now. I will have a Solution for it in the Future when I run more boost.
