Awesome, confirms that flash tune is the way to go. Few questions...

This is on the AW MT M2 correct?
What mods were on his before dyno?
What mods are on his after dyno?
What type of PSI increases are we looking at?

Trying to gauge how much of this was a combination of tune + DP

Thank you Jeff!

WOW, that is officially great news. Congrats on absolutely killer results. Flash tune is a no brainer. Last question then I promise to leave you alone and simply become an advocate for flash tuning lol... Why only 2-3 psi? Nothing more to be gained on a stock M2? Realistically on 93 oct, FMIC, DP, and intake, how many more PSI over stock do you think we can run? How much more HP and TQ? 55hp 75tq possibly?

Thanks again Jeff

Yea man, took some time to dial the tune in but im very very happy with results, James can surely attest when he picks it up tonight the smooth power delivery and the overall enjoyment of the extra power.

We didn't want to push anything over the top for stage 1 and wanted to not stress the turbo too much. The last dyno had 4 runs. run 1 while the car was pretty warmed up did OK and then waited 5 minutes for the next. When we waited 10-15 minutes we saw way better numbers by letting the car cool a bit more. All guessing, we can probably up the boost slightly and with air flowing in and out better you should see pretty good numbers.

any other features that can be done with a flash? Eliminate AUTO stop-start? Eliminate REV MATCH? sharper throttle response?

Unfortunately Auto start stop is more along the coding aspect which can also be done by us but not with this tune. Sharper throttle response is gained in performance alone but isn't something we focus on its more of a placebo affect.
we don't alter any rev match settings. hope this helps!

Glad you like the numbers!

Some items used and/or installed by AUTOcouture Motoring may void portions of your vehicle factory warranty. Some items may not be legal for "on highway use". Autocouture Motoring makes no guarantees to the legality of any parts used for "on highway vehicles" and accepts no responsibility for compliance with the vehicle's factory warranty.

that is our disclaimer, but with that said each persons situation is different, there aren't any physical changes to the parts within the vehicle so you should be fine.

one more question. 1 flash = 1 map? Or Will this flash have the ability to switch between different maps?
