Thanks, without the tune and AA crank pulley, I can feel a difference, its 100% not pulling as hard as before.

That's just normal without a tune , because I felt serious difference in power with my BPM/Tune .

Belt is failing too. LOL

Congrats on the new motor.

Do you plan to re-install an aftermarket tune?

Did you also replace the throttle body actuators while engine was torn down?

I asked them about that, dealer said it is fine. I'm planning to run stock just for now, no track event till next spring.

I would get another tune every active tune car I've ran or seen on the dyno are low. I just ran a e92 with aa exhuast, intake, intake scoops, 4.10 gears, aa tune, aa pulley kit and carbon roof in my e90 and walked him from a 40 with out issue. I only have test pipes, afe intake, and a tune from Frank smith with TTFS and I'm a full loaded E90 dct.

Congrats on the new motor do those oil changes and enjoy the car. I normally change every 6-7k.

Awesome Zhou, back on the streets!
