Has anyone put the stage 2 tune on a Dyno? I’d like to see the results.
Also Alex I think I read that you don’t touch boost at stage 2 and below, so how are you getting the extra power and how does it differ from say BPM or VF? |

Do we need to be hooked up to a battery charger during this process?

I understand fully, and I keep getting questions about everything, I try to keep everything as close as possible to OEM, with our Stage 2+ having added 4PSI boost.
There is many questions, and the question I keep getting is it warranty friendly? Will the dealer see it? At this point it is too early for any tuner to tell if it is or isn't, they are probably trying to find ways of detecting it as much as tuners are trying ways to crack the cars to be flashed. All we can say it does not effect the flash counter and you can return to stock. Is there a 100% safe tune? No, as we all saw even a couple piggyback cars are getting flagged.As far as hardware to flash the cars through OBDII almost all (if not all)use the same hardware/tools to flash the cars and the tooling is what makes it detectable or not. If you guys are unsure and do not want to risk anything just simply wait for more tunes to post reviews and more feedback out there. Quote:

I might've been wrong about the GTS, but on our maps stage .5 to 2 we do not touch the boost levels. |

So this tune from Alex is user-friendly and others are more advance and etc? I'm assuming this ain't for those people who likes to tweak their cars and more toward people that are interested in slightly enhance car and not to worry much about voiding the warranty etc? :

Hi Alex,
I'm a (very satisfied) old customer (full codings, GTS coding package, LCI rear lights coding, EDC CS, DCT flash with multiple remote assistances). The numbers of the GTS tune/stage 2+ on the Awron gauge are legit. I have identical power output (537Hp and 706Nm) here in The Netherlands. I want to try all maps, the increased hp/torque display and do the cold start delete. (during the winter months i want tol use the stock or CP like tune and in the summer the GTS plus tune. I will be ordering next week.

And I was not attacking, I was merely voicing my concerns on Alex's arrogance on the F80 platform (and apparently Geography). Don't worry, i'll stay out of your thread, and take my business somewhere more knowledgeable. |

This was my fault, for some odd reason I thought BuLoOoSki was one of the makers of BM3 so I had a altered view to his posts. BuLoOoSki as I apologized earlier and I am apologizing once again I did not mean to come off harsh or wrong, I simply thought you was someone else with an alternative motive to your postings, I will PM you to also personally apologize. I ended up speaking to one of the makers of BM3 and he explained to me his on vacation and not even on the forums at the moment, boy I felt stupid. 4everkidd I apologize for accusing you also. To be clear, my intention here is not to achieve the highest HP tune. I am here to offer a tune that is like OEM, with OEM drive ability. In maps .5-2 the boost maps are left untouched (no increase in boost.) Comparing a M4 GTS file to a standard M4 you will see the M4 GTS runs loads more ignition & has a more sensitive knock control, same with the CS. The threshold for super knock detection is more sensitive on a M4 GTS & CS compered to a standard M4, this means the GTS and CS will pull back sooner, in a sense more safe. This and many other changes is what I like to offer to customers, not high numbers. Safety, none of the safety parameters moved or changed on stages .5 to 2. If someone is chasing high numbers they should look at some of the other great tunes being offered. In the almost 9 years of being a sponsor on these forums you can see how many times I have posted. The reason for this is because I do not do well with attacks. On forums there is a small group of people who are aggressive, alternative motives, looking for something to pick on, and someone to pick on, so I stay away. Majority of forum members are awesome great people, as I am dealing with at least 30-40 people a week from the forums. I try to keep everyone happy, you can look in my threads dating back many years I have not had a single negative response from a customer. Customers will shortly start posting dynos, logs and how they feel about the tunes. At this point everyone can judge and share their feelings. I also like to thank AboulFad, he messaged me and told me to relax, appreciate that much. |

Excuse my naivety, but with the cable and I guess the software you provide to flash your tunes, would it be possible to flash other people’s tunes? I’m assuming a tune file is just manipulated ecu tables that are packaged as a specific file type.
The reason I ask it because maybe in the future I would want an e85 tune and if you don’t offer it, would it be easy to get a custom tunes file from any other tuner (assuming you don’t offer one) and flash it? Thanks. |

How (initial) owners are willing to blindly flash their ecu without any datalogs, dynos, afr plots etc from the tuner baffles me, but kudos for risking their cars for the rest of us
Even 16 year old civic guys exercise more diligence when mod'ing Props to buloo for having the balls to ask the right questions.....regardless of his agenda |

Yeah stuff happens but it’s not as blind as you are trying to make it seem. I wish they would release the actual M3 CS file or just the M3 Comp file so non comp or non CS guys could get the factory tune. On the N55 you could get the PK download or the Alpina TCU file. |

Are you saying it's like anti-dazzle LED's? Burble, etc are there, but "decoded"? Your tune "unlocks" them? Is a 2018 DCT "coded" differently than, say, a 2015 car? What are you referring to when you say "safety parameters"? DSC? What else? Just looking for as much clarification as I can. Happy New Year!

Your Apple example isn't even remotely the same thing - they spend years engineering and developing a new product before its release. Throwing a few "switches" without dyno tuning and data logging and then calling it a tune isn't even close to being a developed product. |

Few months we were told that we can't have CP tune because you have to buy the files or ECU whatsoever from dealership and it cost $17k+.
How come now you're offering cp, CS, and GTS ? |
