After analyzing your graphs carefully, I have come to a personal conclusion, and this is just my own opinion, that a real reflash of the ECU's is only a little bit better than running the simple BMS piggyback tune. Seems that in your case, there is about a 40whp gain and 40wtq gain over the BMS as far as performance goes. This should translate nicely when doing side by side races, but for someone that lives in say New York City, Boston, or London where good roads are hard to get to, an increase of 40whp and 40wtq is almost pointless. It's just too difficult to find a nice place to use almost 750 crank horsepower in congested city traffic. But for those who live in better areas, say Texas, California or even Lebanon, it would be a nice gain to play with all that horsepower. Either way, thanks for sharing dude, you've helped out a bunch of people for sure.

however, dont forget the fact that i never got my hands on bms can tool, so i had to drive around with CEL, even though it never bothered me and i only had d t mal twice over 10k miles with catless dp's. and i live only eurotunnel away from europe where i go quite often and enjoy roads and all the power car delivers but i wanted to get tune done mainly due cold start issue as i have been told it can be removed but as we found out in the end it cannot be i will share more news soon |

Right , mine with the Wired open valves and Comp pack is loud enough to scare the locals on start up, yours must be mental.

I would love to mod the Porsche but i'm chicken-shit to be honest. worried about the cost of repairs if Porsche refuse any warranty claim due to mods/tunes. im so used to the power now and dare i say it doesn't feel that fast any more.... i'm always wanting more grunt, I don't know what's wrong with me!? never satisfied I reckon.... 0-60 and 0-100 blasts are pretty feckin crazy and entertaining. mid-range from 60+ onwards feels no quicker than my M5. I guess i'm just getting used to the car. track and corners are different gravy of course and handling and feel comes into its own. if you M5 owners have a London meet id love to come along, even though im no longer a M owner...

also went once for SupercarDrive meet never heard about "supercars of Essex" nor "gentleman's jolly", let me know when is the next meet up i will try to make it there same here, i feel like m5 is not fast anymore even with new tune... you cannot really say if its fast or not, unless you roll racing with 911, 458, scud, aventador, etc but you need to start with exhaust, it will bring more joy and car will feel much faster there is catless 991 turbo s yellow with qatar plate sounds amazeballs |

good luck with finding a GT3. the new GT3RS in a years time will be the one when you sell your M5 will you take off all mods and strip back to stock? ok ok... I biting and will investigate some mods on the 911. i'll need some help deciding what to do so I don't destroy the warranty. it's not a lease or company car, so I can do what I want with it, just want to keep the P warranty in tact as much as possible. how do I achieve a 100 extra ponies and do that and notice it?

tune wise you need to speak to Vic - forum member. He knows all the tunes for 991 and i think he had his 991 TTS tuned. I would go with GIAC tune and some exhaust, this way you can achieve around 650-700BHP. there are gt3's in germany. UK once are very stock and overpriced compared to german once and you can still find brand sparkling new in germany with delivery miles. GT3 RS is definitely out of my league for now, but who knows, time will tell mods wise it depends, unless i find another idiot like me in UK, i will definitely need to remove exhaust and dp's. Tune will stay. my m3 was bought by australian guy, who came down to UK for 1 month holiday and he shipped it to australia, so u never know where buyer is coming from. I would obviously love to sell it as 1 piece with no hassle, but you get more money by separating mods and car and makes it easier sell. Last edited by mstmng; 01-21-2015 at 10:15 AM.. |

Oh and yes I didn't forget that you didn't have the BMS CAN CEL Delete Tool. It's been a Godsend for me personally. I'm not entirely sure I would still own my car right now without it. It does make a big difference when running catless downpipes. I'm glad that you finally got it removed via the new tune.
