ECU Tunning group was just a big joke.
Same with OE Tuning, long story with these clowns.
Keeping it short, they had my car for over a month, car had to see a body shop to fix scratchs they put on it, lost a one of my keys, and another shop next to theirs called me to pick it up because the owner was in Dubai (ya right).

Gintani is a whole new experience and they call me with updates, I dont have to call 10+x to get an update.

So far, they have adjust fuel/timing some other things, now working on Boost.

I'll have more info when I get it, and a list of what they are going to do.

The owner Alex is going to be in New York tuning so you New Yorkers might have a chance to meet him and get tune done in person w/out the ECU mailing.

Stay tuned.

Nice. Where can i dyno test in NY area? Im in brooklyn but... I got stage 1 on 2015 550i. I test drove both. ( hard) agree the xdrive has great traction on take of, and ability to drive in snow (under 2 inches) I decided on RWD with 704 suspension. It sits 1 inch lower ~350lbs lighter. And power sliding is crazy fun. Stock exhaust, but im thinking. Spending 3-4k on Borla or other. I think its expensive. Muffler delete? I spoke to few mechanics and everyone said NO, it will be really loud.
And maybe you can share the drag strip you go to. I definitely want to rip it up. Thanks

our stock turbos are maxed out by JB already so a flash tune would be good for going with built turbos.

I have the SDC F14s on my car and have HR springs sitting in the garage. Do you have any rubbing?

I had rubbing once even on stock springs going through a dip at 50 mph.

Maybe the HR springs are even better because they shorten suspension travel?

Please keep us posted on the tune.

Please stay on topic.

We are hoping to have a definitive update by EOD today.. fingers crossed.
As of right now its looking like FBO N63tu will have well over 500WHP (dynojet)
When I say well over I mean 530-550Whp Range.. Please take into consideration that I have 490Whp and ran 11.7. With an extra 50Whp and more power under the curve we are looking at Low 11's =)... Fingers crossed!

They just took my car to the same place Terry took my car to test the BMS, where I made:
452/514 peak and 407hp over 5500rpms

I'll have graph soon. Numbers are over 500 rwhp and 550 rwtq.
But what they (Gintani) were surprised with is how much more potential it has. Forgot what it was called but he left it alone in the ecu where Alpinas and m5 were at 85+% the 550i was at 70%.(forgot the name of it)

So basically, its not even close to maxed out and made some incredible gains, not good, not great, but incredible.

The only thing I really understood from my conversation w/Alex @ Gintani about this was something that I hated about my car over 5k rpms

He said where it fell off with the BMS over 5k @ 407rwhp I was making 510rwhp. Which to me was super exciting to hear.

Small update for you guys I'll have more later today

Looks like Turner is selling a piggyback tune as well, same specs as the Hartge tune they sold last year, similar pricing too.

If you want to talk about Piggy Back, this isn't the thread for that.
This is an actual Tune.
The 1st of its kind for the N63TU platform.

If you are interested in a Piggy back, I would suggest a BMS.
Its what all the fastest cars / most HP cars are running now.

This topic we are discussing is a actual tune.
Thanks.
