Tuning boxes - TDI-Tuning, DTUK, Racechip etc
All,
What’s the general consensus of plug in tuning boxes for these cars? Is anyone running one of these at the moment? I’ve had some suggested ads on Facebook etc and they claim quite a substantial increases in power for these cars. Interestingly, they market them as traceless and undedectible by your dealer, but I’ve read thats’s not the case and the technicians can tell immediately. Also looked at the JB4, but it gets mixed reviews without going down the decat route. Thanks MP Last edited by Masterplan; 07-25-2018 at 11:33 AM.. |

Tuning boxes are pretty inconsistent and the claimed increases are nothing short of ridiculous. If you want to tune, go for a proper DME flash. I've been running the Stage 1 BM3 flash on my M2 for a while now, it's been faultless with consistent and noticeable gains.

I do not have before and after dyno numbers, but I'd expect something like a 20-30bhp increase running BM3 Stage 1 on an otherwise stock car. It is noticeably faster and every bit as smooth as stock. |

Having watched an online tutorial, this looks relatively straightforward and well tested. Will give it a try. |

Stage 1 98 RON with V Power, or Tesco Momentum have worked well for me. My car is mechanically stock except for the MPE.
Good luck with the flash, you'll love it! |

Question for the one running BM3 : can you have a STG1 and run the CEL remover ? Also does the CEL remover apply to all CEL or just the O2 Sensor CEL ?
Thanks,
