I just cleared codes and DME adaptation. Car is running very smooth and almost feels faster on map 0. I'm going to run map 0 for a few days then try map 1/2 again. If i misfire then I'm gapping stock plugs.

1 thing I have learned recently is the spefic torque for spark plugs on direct injection engines. Correct torque will set the spark plug to the correct index location. These are also 1 time use plugs and if they are re-used and re-torqued then the index will be in the wrong location. In a class recently I attended, it was noted and proven that OEM Mercedes and NGK plugs have a different index NGK's have been used on a few Mercedes direct injection motors and pistons have melted due to using spark plugs with the wrong index location |

Honestly it's not your plugs or the coils, but still gap them down to around .20.
I had a similar issue with my jb4 on my n55. It ran fine and then like a year later started acting the same way as yours did. I contacted terry at bms and he sent me a new board for like $100 bucks and I replaced it and it was fine after that. Try that 1st before venturing out into replacing expensive parts like coils.

Have you done any track days Cary? What is your current setup?

Honestly, my car is mostly stock.
M4 ZCP DCT with JB4 (stock ZCP tuning), BMS intakes, stock exhaust, stock downpipes, stock chargepipes, E40, running custom map 6 (additive) and less than 24psi. On E40, my ZCP is running the maximum timing curve, pull after pull. At less than 20psi, it breaks traction in 4th often. I have no need to run higher boost as this car pulls very strong with this setup and traction is already limited. My philosophy is simple, why run more boost than you have to? This car runs phenomenally with this setup. Here is a screenshot of a 3rd to 4th gear pull to see for yourself. The car was breaking traction all the way through 3rd and again in 4th at around 6200rpm. This is right at 20# of boost, as you can see. Timing is maxed out on stock ZCP tuning. I was in S2 mode, which pulls a good bit of timing and closes the throttle plate between shifts. Had I been in S3, the throttle plate would have stayed open and you'd see less timing pull between gear changes, which produces a more violent gear change and can cause even more traction issues.

I've been a believer since my younger American muscle days that more hp is not always the answer especially to having a faster car. 500rwhp is more then enough for the street. I was just curious how you were setup.

So I have Pure Turbos and FBO with JB4 installed on map 2 from 2nd or 3rd gear full throttle as I approach redline the car feels and sounds like it is misfiring. I do not get any codes the car will not shift gears from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th during these events. Does this sound like the same thing the OP is talking about on his car. I'm 16k miles now and in stock plugs, I can log the car tomorrow if that helps, I am not very good with the JB4 so I am assuming on the app I start he log prior to flooring it in second and run through the gear change (if it changes gear).

No why would it be? Jb4 adds boost to increase power. Adds it the same on a zcp and std. so since zcp starts with more itll end with more. Plus the zcp tune fueling is much better for the higher maps.
