True is an option but I already own a cable just need it delivered. Doesn't make sense to pay twice

Look forward to your feedback on the BM3 tune. Looking for a Stage 1 tune for my incoming 17

Oh nice congrats! When are you getting it and specs?

Looking forward to the tune used to run the jb4 on the old car so interested in seeing how smooth a flash tune is.

Which tune did you pick up? Unless it's a piggyback you will need a cable or tool to connect to the ECU in order to flash it

@magha I'm running BM3 OTS Stg 2 on 93oct - gives over 415 crank HP ('18 OG M2) - car is a beast! Will get custom tune in the spring and should get a bit more out of it. BM3 = Great value for the $.

Nice!
What supporting mods do you have?

I went the VRSF route but stuck to DP/FMIC And CP. Don't think there are many gains to be had outside that unless you go bigger turbo

Looking forward to turning ASD off as a starting point to truly hear the car. Will rock stage 1 93 octane (fill 94 Petro) until I get the mods installed in spring and then go stage 2

Thanks it's a MGM 6speed slicktop. Already has KW HAS. Only 3000km. I was looking at a M2C but the sound wasn't for me. Getting it in December and interested in a tune to take advantage of 94 octane. Going to add a bigger IC and a bbk as I will do some track days.

I have "the usual" supporting cast...

Wagner Evo comp II FMIC
FTP CP/BP
PURE inlet
Eventuri intake
MPE

Car is very loud...according to my neighbor.

Nice setup! Do you track?

Am I missing something or is a Catted DP the way to go with the platform? Or is it an MPE and Catted coz otherwise you'd be straight through?

To my knowledge catless is where the gains really materialize. I'm going catless with a stock exhaust.

From what I understand, most catless DPs will give you CEL, which if you run JB4, I suppose you can clear, but I don't have one. More power is not what my car needs right now...plenty of that on hand and often can't get it to the ground without spinning or DSC kicking in. I think I need some bigger tires in the back. Currently on 275s, but going to move up to 295s once these are done.

Will do some track days next year...just couldn't get out this year.

Yea all should give CEL but BM3 can suppress that.

Hoping I can drop off just before deleting code for service so light doesn't come on right away.

Anyone have a mod friendly SA at any of the dealerships?

For all the track folks let's get a group together and see if we can rent it out to ourselves. Not sure how much that would run
