Should I be making this much

Hey guys
So I got some questions
1. Is 20.4lbs of boost a lot for a 328i on stock turbo??
2. My mods are er cp vrsf dp jb4 rez and muffler delete running map 2 with 4 gals of e85 rest 93
3.Does the EWG change anything ?? I have a 2015 f30 do I need harness or what do I need to make 22lbs of peak boost ?
4. How are people making 21psi on just tune alone and I can’t make 21.. I have no leaks nothing

Stock peak is at around 18.9psi. 20.4 should be fine with cp, dp. If you're going beyond 22 then you should definitely upgrade to a bigger turbo.

I'm pretty sure you need the flex fuel harness to take advantage of the E85.

Don't know about the other questions, hope that helps.

Dude, this is your third post asking the exact same thing.

Anyways, why you worried about 22PSI? Just put a hose clamp on the waste gate rod so you can start hitting 30PSI. Should be good for 1000hp or so.

As far as supporting mods, get a Raizin voltage stabilizer and one of their fuel atomizers. go 100% E85 and you should be straight.

Just a hypothetical question here.... how much really can you squeeze out of a N20/26 in power? You can change everything except stock turbo. How much you going to spend?

I have BM3 and awe quad exhaust (I could have gone cheaper on exhaust but I love the awe sound and the quad is just aesthetic) . That all I'm doing to my car. If I want power I would have just go inline 6 or M car.

Yeah I 100% get that it’s not that I’m trying to get some crazy power out of it I just feel like for the mods I have and reading what other people say they are getting 2-3psi more with jsit the tune so I guess I’m saying am I missing out on power

i just uninstalled my Jb4 and installed the BM3. I was running Map 2 on JB4 and i'm on stage 1 BM3. Overall i prefer Bm3 because the power delivery is more linear, and there is much more customization to it.

BM3 has burble customization for exhaust, you can tune the 8 speed transmission which is awesome, etc etc.

JB4 Map 2 i'm pretty sure is quicker than stage 1 BM3, however the power kicks in hard at 3k RPM and a bit sluggish before that. I had no issues with JB4 too both are good tunes.
