Does your hex tune take full advantage of 93 octane fuel? As in, more power gains for 93?

There is a margin for adaptation with 93 Octane which will produce slightly better gains.

If I understand correctly, the tune will adapt to the rest of us that use 93 octane or is there a separate map?

You are correct.
We do not offer a 93 Octane specific tune, but just as the factory ECU will
adapt for various fuel qualities and weather conditions, the HEX Tuning
software retains the same adaptability.


Note: Higher octane rated unleaded fuel will always offer an advantage
with our performance calibrations; not to be confused with "blended
ethanol" as we do not currently support ethanol blended fuel for this
software application.

Thanks for the clarification. When would VF begin supporting modified turbo applications?

It's just too soon to predict.

We are still in the process of testing/tuning for modified turbos on for
the F8X S55, and then we will explore what's next on the development
schedule.

To be fair, the M2 N55 market is strong for us as there's obviously a
very enthusiastic customer base, but we have other strong platforms
such as the S63 which has a very wide range of applications.



We'll absolutely keep everyone here in the loop on when we start
testing, and I encourage anyone who is genuinely interested to send
us an e-mail and/or PM to express that interest so we can keep tabs
with a proper head count.

Coming Soon!

Rogue Engineering in New Jersey just did (2) M2's today alone,
so it's just a matter of time. I think their 2nd customer is in for a
Stage TWO "before and after" dyno some time next week.

If not them, there's a larger handful of other HEX Tuned M2's
between PA, GA, TX, FL who should be on the rollers very soon.

Who do you have as an authorized dealer in FL?

South Florida = Fitzgibbon Performance in Pompano Beach.

This is solid programming men.

Real pleased with the power delivery. Feels spot on. Much more top end finally.

It does not have enough tire at all now. Immediately slips into TC on throttle out of corners.

Cant wait to kill these tires and go with M3 size.

My car is the LBB M2 in the pic. I am currently on my honeymoon while Rouge Engineering works on my car. They are doing the stage 2 tune, intercooler, charge pipe, boost pipe, inlet pipe, diverter valve, coilovers, camber plates, arm bushings, and rear sway bar links. I will do a in-depth post when I get it back. Then hopefully to a dyno for further reviews. To say the least I'm excited.

Can your stage 1 tune clear the CEL for a catless downpipe? Also if I get the tune will it cost more down to road when I want to move to stage 2 or is the cost all inclusive?

PM sent to address your questions directly.

For all other who may be interested, additional MAPs have a flat rate cost
of $100. Customer upgrade from Stage ONE to Stage TWO later on will
never pay more than they would if buying Stage TWO from the start.

My stage 2 tune has been finished. The car feels great, fast and sounds mean. I am waiting to do a full thread after I get to a dyno. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Along with the tune I had a Wagner Evo Comp FMIC, FTP charge and boost pipes, Inlet pipe, and GFB diverter valve.

Let me know if you need Dyno recommendation, I know most of the locations of the Dynojet in our area and can recommend you.
