A slightly different setup as I'm currently on E30 with WMI instead of upgraded injectors/HPFP. My base run for E30M wouldn't be a good comparison to yours since it was based off of the finalized 91M tune running ~25 psi boost and ~300whp.
In case anyone's wondering, below is the graph from the 91oct base tune with max boost of ~16.5psi.

I would like to share my final results with S280 turbo kit, full bolts on and 93 OCT fuel in Bogotá, Colombia, where weather is rainy most of the time and temperature is between 44-66 F, 337 WHP and 370 Lb/ft, my tuner is Amely and he did a great job with the car.

The lower results are Dizzy Stage 2, full bolts on, stock turbo and 93 OCT Fuel

337whp and 370wtq on 93?? Seems higher than normal.. You have some kind of magic gas over there in Columbia? lol

gas is made from cocaine there...;)
In first place men, is "Colombia", not Columbia, and second, is not funny that you refer my country with Drugs, something for what many people have died in the last 70 years, and last but not least, something that we have learned in south america about the st, is that in USA most of them run pretty normal tunes, with even bigger turbos and tropical weather, there are some 400+ WHP ST around here, something that most of the USA tuners do not believe.

Ok so first you take a light hearted joke extremely personal . I suspect your dyno is not calibrated correctly and calibrated to the smile side of things so to speak. More HP more customers everybody is happy.
Now less address your own misconception that most people in the U.S. run pretty normal tunes . Hmmm that flys in the face of the whole Revo RT330 debacle that lead to Revo pulling out of the U.S. because our tuners tune for higher boost than U.K./Euro tuners do in part because we have the Cobb AP and they do not.
An AP allows adjustability of so many parameters it completely flies in the face of your statement. American tuners have pulling 400 whp cars for years. American tuners proved you could run 375whp on a stock downpipe and intake . Ya American tuners run pretty normal tunes. American tuners tend to tune properly Tune+ for example has pulled more HP at lower boost than a lot of tuners. Is that a pretty normal tune?
Nothing personal here just facts. You come in here with crazy numbers for a pump gas tune and people like I? Who also runs a s280 and has pulled 300 whp 340wtq on stock fuel with e30 at pretty much sea level in a rather mediterranean climate and ya I am gonna say ya no. Reason being the S280 flows so much air that it taps out your fuel system even with E30 . I could pick up the extra 30-40 whp dyno proven by putting in injectors and more hp with a hpfp. So there are people here and quite a few running s280’s as it has become a quite popular turbo here that look at your numbers and now they are not at sea level which means they should be lower not higher that cry foul.
Most dyno owners that own dynos at several thousand ft above sea level calibrate their dyno’s not to dissapoint their customers. Sorry but it’s true. So you seem to have a big misconception here.

Probably you are correct, but we can not negate that the results that I am showing here were confirmed in 3 different dynos, dynos where BMW, GTR, MERCEDEZ BENZ, AUDI, WV and other cars with more power, were or are tuned, I apologize myself for the misconception I took about the joke, but focusing on the S280, it is not normal that most of the dynos here shows extremely different results that most of the peopel in USA have, and not only with the S280, but with the Whoosh Hybrid turbo, X47, and the master power that is above 400WHP with stock internals and gas mixed with boostane or race fuel.

sorry, but it is true, I do not know why is so hard to take the S280 above 300WHP in the USA, and here in Colombia most of the turbos in most of the places are higher than 315WHP

You seem to not understand nor do most people a simple truth about dyno’s they are merely as good as to how they are calibrated and brand. The U.S. is a big country with lots of different elevations , hence different dyno numbers and air flow rates it’s physics . Plus if you have three dyno’s at the same elevation and same brand then they can all be calibrated rather closely per manufacturer instructions. Get an elevation change of say a few thousand feet or more and that changes everything in part due to atmospheric pressure. Plus they are two very popular dyno brands here that read out completely different numbers Dynojet and Mustang. Mustang are sometimes called the heartbreaker as they usually read out lower numbers but a lot use them because the consensus is the they are more accurate.
You really should read Adams Tuneplus log and watch his vids as he is a great S280 tuner and it’s a fact that with our fuel you cannot get beyond 300 whp on a stock fuel setup. The joke about your fuel was indeed to response to us wondering what your out of the pump fuel is like . Now you mention a octane booster or race fuel combine that with a differently calibrated dyno and you could get different numbers. One there are possible variables you have not mentioned, like what is the stock octane rating of your pump gas. Two , what elevation you are at and are the dyno’s calibrated for it? Three , what you now mentioned you are adding fuel helpers that will give you a bit more headroom.
So ya sorry but there is actually a lot of very experienced tuners here in the states and all seem to have the same consistent numbers for the S280 based off our elevations and fuel.

I have confirmed with the dynos that numbers shown in the graphics are corrected, with SAE, we are in Bogota at (2650 mts or 8695 feet) high, due this, and if the dyno do not show the correction my car is around 300 whp that make sence with what you said now.

Please take in consideration that my car was tuned first with Jason from Dizzy when was in stage 2, and now is tuned by Amely that is also located in the US.

And last but not least the car is running 93 OCT fuel, the results with other turbos that shows 400WHP are running with 102 Oct or so

According to 'To catch a smuggler' on tv, Peru is supposed to be the highest producer of cocaine, not Colombia. Just thought I'd mention it.

I’d like to see some logs. How many seconds a 4th gear, 60-100mph pull would take.

Ya like I said elevation makes a big deal and uncorrected for the elevation you would be exactly where I am using e30 with 91 pump. The 93 definitely gives you a bit more room .
Ya I Tune with Adam at Tuneplus and I honestly never have felt any need to go with someone else. I was initially dyno tuned locally but they could not hold a candle to Adam’s tunes.

Yup this is the way.
Agreed. I'd like to see that 60-100 run. Mine took about 10 seconds going from 40s to 115+ MPH (in Mexico of course) on my fourth gear run with 26 psi max on my second revision. I did the run after a day of rain with 95% humidity but 50 degrees helped. I want to add the 4 bar map and throw 30 psi at it, LOL. My WGDC is only at 50%.
