Not too much but it will be lighter. "

If the rumors that the 2015 C63 will be getting a M157, 4matic, and DCT are true, I want the car that I believe will prove to be the best daily driver available.

I have to tell you all, that after hearing from my friends about the lack of reliability and high costs of owning a German car, especially a AMG, has me terrified to own one.
But, if these rumors are true, I think the risk may be worth the reward.
The new C63 won't get the M157 it will get a 4.0 liter turbo motor instead. "

Does it need to be super heavy to tow well? "

It would be nice if OP posted a before/after dyno to show the delta between factory turbos and the stg2's. I'd also like to see the dyno plot just for an idea of what the power band looks like.
I was more talking about the difference between the RB's and the Stage II's how big of a variance are people expecting? "

Sticky created the thread 2014 Porsche Macan interior spied and six engine choices revealed - Comes with 7-speed PDK transmission.
" The Porsche Macan should make its debut relatively soon likely later this year at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Some details have leaked out although they can not be confirmed. The interior spy photo clearly shows design elements from the Panamera and new 991 generation 911. The center console also shows a PDK style shift lever so the entry level SUV will have a dual clutch transmission. Lack of a traditional automatic will likely affect tow capacity.


A six speed manual though might be available although it can not be confirmed. A manual Macan Turbo sure sounds like a lot of fun to drive. So what are the engine choices? How about six of them:

Diesels:
• 2.0 TDI 4-cyl, 187bhp/258lb ft
• 3.0 TDI V6, 261bhp/369lb ft "

I'm running The rb flash from BMS along with G5 iso. I'm am very happy with my car so far. Iam running a 50/50 blend of e85/93. Mods are FBO, Walbro e85 lpfp, BMS trunk mount meth kit, Level 10 trans. and wavetrack lsd. Also installed new eibach pro kit, replaced serpentine belts and pulleys, oil filter housing gaskets, new plugs (ngk5992), 6 new coils and 6 new injectors and got rid of that POS raceland dp for a bms. First thing I noticed is how quiet my car is now. The old turbos rattled so bad I couldn't take it anywhere nice due to the rediculous noises it was making. I have not had one single code or issue since picking up the car on Sat. Morn. For the first 200 miles I drove on map 5 and took it easy. After that I turned it up to map 7 and at first I was like this things not that much faster until I watched it climb on the speedo and wow is this $#@! fast. It is just such a smooth power delivery that you don't notice how fast its climbing. Trans. shifting is quick and crisp but not over the top.Havent gotten alpina flash to work yet due to a error code it keeps giving me but I can't wait to get it going. Not sure what the issue is but I coded my injectors with inpa just fine. Ill dig into that this weekend. It has been raining and hot and humid as hell since the day I picked it up but was able to get a couple of logs. Created this from my phone so if you don't mind Terry@BMS could you put up a log or 2 for evaluation. I will be setting up a dyno session at Dallas Mustang in the next week. Thanks to Tony@Vargas, Terry@BMS ,everyone @COBB Tuning Plano, Level 10 for the trans parts and Eric who did install of trans. Parts. I have not ran the car on any custom maps yet or my meth maps. More to come and thanks to all in the community that helped. You know who you are.
Paragraphs my man, paragraphs.

Still, great to see the Stage II's getting into the wild. "
