nope.

i actually went to the n54 forums to ask this and the last response from Terry was no.

[VF-Engineering]

Thanks for all the PM's, the phone calls, and of course the ECU's coming in daily!

Do you have any re-seller/distributor in the UK that can carry out the work?

Our Master Distributor in the UK is Regal Autosport.
They will be set up with flashing equipment very soon.

PM us your email address and we'll add you to an interest list for the UK. Once they are properly equipped and trained, we will notify all of our UK inquiries.

Side note, they are also equipped with a chassis Dyno and have bee installing our Superchargers for years now!

That overrun is amazing

[M3anPower]

Just curios if it's possible to send you the ECU from Dubai?

It sounds even better in person...especially when the car is at speed and you lift throttle, or when you downshift under load!

Yes you may.

Please email us at sales@vf-engineering.com so I can have a sales person help streamline the shipping process for you to try and keep downtime to a minimum.

Thanks.

Any dealer in Houston? Or heck even in Austin or San Antonio?

Thanks!

[FC4]

Any dealers in North Dakota?

[VF-Engineering]

Thanks guys for all the inquiries...

At this time we are still setting up bench flashing dealers, so nothing in Texas or North Dakota. If you'd like us to help you find an Authorized Dealer or a qualified installer who can remove and reinstall your ECU, please email us at sales@vf-engineering.com.

Can the tune suppress the CEL light due to aftermarket downpipes?

[paulo_f80m3]

Okay. Subscribed. Questions.

1. I want the stage 1 Map with all the same goodies as the Austin Yellow M4. (I'm completely stock)

The burble is amazingly intoxicating.

2. I'm live in the east coast. Can I still ship to Cali?

3. Is it reversible for going into service?

Stage TWO and TWO+ are calibrated specifically for use with aftermarket downpipes so no CEL should occur.

Please keep in mind that just as aftermarket downpipes may not be emissions legal, our Stage TWO and TWO+ level software is also designated as being for "off-road use only".

1. You got it!
Stage ONE is exactly what that car had.

2. Absolutely!
Ship us the ECU and we'll get it bench flashed the same day and shipped back to you by Overnight/Next Day Air.

3. It can be flashed back to stock for service using our optimal HEX Tuning Flash Cable. The same cable will also allow you to switch between different Stage Power levels in the future of you do decide to upgrade.

Can you provide instruction for removing the ECU so that those of us with no dealer nearby can do this ourselves?
Or do you not recommend DIY for this?

[VF-Engineering]

The ECU is located below the intake manifold which makes it more of an "advanced" DIY job. There's no special tools required, and it's not a particularly difficult job, but there are quite a few steps to get it done. It ultimately comes down to confidence and experience. We'll look into possibly creating a DIY .pdf or short video if we can make the time.

I love the product but have a question, will this "over run" feature hurt the life of the cats over time?
Thanks

There should be no noticeable change in the life expectancy of the catalytic converters as this is a standard feature on the GTS and ZCP car.
