Tune

So I got downpipes, bms intake and charge pipe installed on the X3. Also got it tuned by RKTUNES. Couldn't be happier with the results.

Will upload a video clip shortly.

Thanks man, haven't heard or seen anyone else mentioning this CP, but very worth doing if you're running a tune/increased boost.

I've purchased the FTP chargepipe thanks to you mate!

did you get all your mods installed at the same time? curious to know if you noticed a difference with the BMS intake alone, and then the CP?

I got everything installed right before the tune. Def response and quickness is noticeable.

Haven't dyno it yet. The shop had a car on the dyno machine and I couldn't wait for them to finish. However I plan on bringing the car back as he's tuning other b58 and wants to make some adjustments to my tune 😊 all positive

I intentionally asked for the flame 🔥 option in the tune. It's bigger while driving at around 3500-4000 RPMs

Did your installer mention anything about the fitment? Hopefully it was perfect?
