Welcome to the club. Do it yourself. There as there is zero reason you should pay anyone to do it for you; it's literally that easy. Then get bimmercode and start going hog wild tweaking your settings.....

Curious how many California guys are running the Stage 1 91 Octane version ACN91 vs 95RON version?

Started off with 91 RON here in CA/Bay area. 93 after mixing in some 100 octane

Do it yourself, if your laptop is decently fast do it with that as it's fast - for me it's under 4 minutes total. Then if you have the wifi agent you can use that for logging. You can also flash with the wifi agent, but if it's slow you will need a battery charger.

Did the stage 1/93 tune myself- The entire process took 10 minutes. Thanks to all for the encouragement!

Bravo! How are you liking it?

Took a short ride after the flash and it is materially quicker. Does anyone know if the HP gauge is accurate? I pegged it at 640. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the gauge pre-flash. Im looking forward to putting some more miles on it over the next few days and I'll provide some additional thoughts.

Stage 1 - 93 is ~560AWHP and estimated 15% drivetrain loss makes it's ~640HP at the crank.

Also make sure you review your logs/codes and make sure there are no issues - i usually review them once every gas fill up to make sure the gas is good. I try to only buy Shell 93.

You have logs on 93 Shell you can share?

[MJDBMW]

I'll check next fill-up. All I've been running is shell 93.

Here is a shot of the gauges stock.

[forza1976]

@FSociety any thoughts on the 91 map and Denver altitude? Are those 91 maps meant for sea level?

Appreciate it.

I see your other thread i'll post there too, i'll take some more intentional logs. this was grabbed by autolog.

[MJDBMW]

Forza- thanks for the screen shot. I'm actually looking to see what the hp registers w/o the tune. I should have taken a look before I flashed. Attached is a pic of my gauges after time- and I still had more room to go on the accelerator.

You look like you are in the same boat as me with Shell 93, not hitting timing targets and a bit of variance on some cylinders. Bet if you sent this to PTF they would say go to 91 tune.

Is this what they told you?

Yes.

Timing targets (approx max) are as follows:

91 Octane: 11-12 Peak

93 Octane: 13-14 Peak

E30 Octane: 15-17 Peak (but also fun fact target boost is 1 psi more)

Anyone running bootmod stage 1/93 and also activated open exhaust? If so, should I hear a difference in all driving modes- efficient, sport, and sport plus? If it matters, I'm using the OTS configuration for burbles.

[Psypher]

Anyone running an octane booster? We only have 91 octane in Nevada and no E85. Was wondering if you can change the tune if you run a can of octanium to augment the lower octane on each fill up.

What setting do you have burbles at? I raised it up to 6.3 but didn't hear any burbles.

[MJDBMW]

Pro Tuning tells me the stage 1/93 map has a custom burble setting. I did not edit the burbles any further. I also put the exhaust flaps back to Auto from open.
