Stacking BMS Stage 1 on top of Dinan
Has anyone tried this before? Good idea? Bad idea? I'm interested in trying this but would like opinions on if it will add any more power and the reliability of doing this.

If by some chance, the Dinan tune was a bit on the conservative side, you might be able to squeeze an additional lb of boost in before you start seeing knock retard and/or detonation, you might gain 7-15 more horsepower, but at this point its kinda a waste. When I eventually get a custom flash, I will be keeping my ESS piggy back on for boost control, but I also scan and monitor everything going on and will run better fuel when I add boost over what is programmed. Im sure Dinan, like most mail order tuners, likely has the car dialed in at about 85% of its ability in order to keep your warranty and keep the car safe, but if you wanted to spend some time on a dyno with a piggy back, it would be a large investment for a possible gain, and I also don't honestly know how a piggy back will react to Dinans setup either as far as how it modifies variables. |

Two piggies fighting for control of your car... = no go! But get a flash tune and you a can add a piggy on top of that.
