I don't know if it's just my car, but i'm x-drive and the traction control light will come on and cut power on me (even though I can't actually get the wheels to spin with x-drive). So I alway drive with off and have no issues with traction. Ironically, it's actually hazardous for me to leave traction control on because if I commit to a move based on my power level and all of a sudden there's no power, it's a really bad situation. Long way of saying try driving without traction control, you may be alright.
Yeah, I tried that. As it is, it normally cuts boost in first gear due to traction. I've tried turning it part way off and fully off, with no change. I also noticed weird boost spikes, such as 19 psi on a 15 psi tune.

So, I replaced my boost solenoids. On map 5, it holds 17 psi. With new turbos and new solenoids, I dropped my 0-60 from 5.4 to 4.5. I still need tires. I think the car is fast enough for now. Now I can just focus on getting the rest of the car cleaned up. I have an M Sport rear bumper to replace my broken stock one, and I might eventually do M3 suspension arms and sway bars. I suppose I could also set aside some money to build that 408 stroker for my truck... I think I'm coming to terms with my HP addiction.

So I installed an intercooler. I had blown the oring on the flex pipe coming off the outlet, so I figured I'd upgrade the pipe and the intercooler. The car is definitely faster. Now I need to use map 6 and tune it a bit. It overshoots boost targets and I don't want to blow it up.

Because your settings are all screwed up.

I give the turbos 3000 miles before they go boom.

Edit: I get this information from my homies car that lasted about 4000 Km’s. Mine have about 1500km’s and they rattle. 😂 Attached some crappy Snapchat quality SS’s for proof. @RuskiRacer can attest too 😂
