[vincent]

Guys,
Those that have use this above Tuning chip , can give some review? appreciate it tq

Are referring to the N57 diesel engine?
If yes,,,,,someone did a comparison few years back.....Vector has slightly more power gains, but not by much.....
Race chip I not sure though......

Go for a remap, much better compare with those tuning chip as I have previously using a tuning chip before.

Only go for remap if your car is out of warranty period. Remap will void the warranty.

will remap do any good in n52b25 ? e90

 

[Mel279]

yes but not much gain maybe around 14hp, but diesel gain 30-40hp

 

[trentssh123]

Where do you guys do remap ? After remap is there any chances the car will go kaput easily , stalling etc phobia those things..

Diesel engine for the win!

I had the RaceChip Pro 2 box for around 10K miles on the car, no problem at all.... It's much cheaper than a remap but gives less power....

I do my remap with my own laptop, just need a mpps cable & software, download my ecu file and email it to ecu remapping specialist in UK, paid around GBP 20 or more depend on what mod has been done, such as install downpipe, bigger intercooler, bigger turbo,etc. The remap file receive within 24hrs, I write the remap file to my ecu and that's it. I still can re-write back to my original ecu file. The remap does not do any harm as its operating within the limit.

Only 20 GBP for the whole process? Send me please the ECU remapping specialist info in UK, so I can do it myself too....

I got both cable and software to download my car ECU....

Yes correct, but you need to have a research on that first particularly on how to download your ecu file & so on, but he's only do e46 diesel car(the remapper). But you can find others that can do yours and the price a bit higher. Apologize for highjacking this thread.
