Hello all , i have a bmw e92 with n47 engine . Remaled egr off , swirl flaps deleted and now it has to have 235hp but it feel around 160 hp.  Doesn't show any codes or errors , no bost leak  . Maybe its something wrong with turbo ? It feels like turbo doesn't give much boost .

First who has said it should have 200+ hp ? Removing the EGR and Swirl flaps will add no power, a remap on a standard and possibly/probably worn engine will (I guess) increase power by between 10% and 20% depending on engine/turbo/injector/exhaust condition.

So do you know what your base line was before starting the upgrades?  If your car was a Fleet variant it would have come from the factory de-tuned to 150ish HP if it was the top engine spec it would have had 170ish HP 

The only way to measure would be to ensure the engine/turbo etc is in tip top condition and have a session on a rolling road, then carry out the mods and onto the rollers again. Just taking someones word that you will get X HP doesn't mean it will happen, they will always have a get out that something mechanical is the cause of power loss.

Your figure of 235hp would be a 30%+ increase in power on a top spec 177hp engine in good condition. I have tuned a few of my own cars over the years and to see a 30% gain will not be easy or cheap.

Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear
