Dinantronics Sport, Fabspeed Catted DP
After debating, searching, and researching this is the simple combo I went with.
Anyone who says the is engine is non responsive to tuning obviously has not driven a tuned M2. Now the car needs more rubber without a doubt. In the cold, at 80mph, in 5th she side steps on full throttle. A freaking hoot! $300 for the dinansport (always in race mode) and $1200 for the DP. There is a serious difference in power with this combo, and its very very smooth to boot. |

So whats the deal with the dinan? Where do you plug it in and does it adjust to account for the DP? Is it detectable if removed after use by BMW?
would you say the DP alone is sufficient? |

Its a one sensor plug in, super easy. Boost, fueling timing are adjusted. Works with the basically maxxed out DME specs.
No clue what BMW warranty will do, but my dealer is cool with a removable piggy back, not cracking the ECU for a full tune. IMHO after this combo, im not even looking into that option. No need to. I put the Dinan Sport on before the DP. That in itself was a big difference in the midrange, but you could feel the restriction in the turbo at the top of the rev range. I can say, it hits boost faster, harder, longer with the DP installed. Holds to redline and the midrange went up like 3 levels making it super fun for a street car. Sounds damn good too. |

I can attest to the potency of the sport tuner (at least in race mode with quality 93 octane). For $300, you've basically got a 400 HP M2....sound familiar?

Exactly. Alone it was faster for sure, with the DP its another level..... Great bang for the buck between the two. BTW I destroyed my buddies M3 the other day. Im satisfied.

Have you pushed the car hard, ie: track use yet? Wondering if you might experience overheating/limp mode like others have with the JB+
Great little review nonetheless |

Shout out to OP, super interested in this.
If I go this route, then decide later to add the Dinan big turbo, will I be required to upgrade to the Stage 4 tuner? Would this simple tuner be less efficient, or obsolete?

Do you know the difference between dinan sports tuner for 300 and the dinan stage 1 performance tuner for 1544?
Also, if I were to disconnect the sports tuner every time before going to the dealer would the ECU just reset itself to stock? I'm very interested in this combo. I've been thinking about the Fabspeed sport cat dp for some time. Thanks. |

I'm in NJ as well, and I'm curious how your setup will react when the outside temps are up. Turbo cars run WAYYYY better when it's cold outside. It's supposed to go up in the 60's today. Would you mind reporting back on the ride quality after some pulls today?
