Thanks. What setting are you using? Is that 420nm or lbs/ft. I'll recheck mine when I get a chance to be sure as it's not easy to see that while flooring it. I'll probably cideo the displays.

Cheers

Hmmm I'll definitely need to check this out as I'm pretty sure my isn't hitting anywhere near that. It does feel faster though, it will be Tuesday next week before I'm able to test it though. Has anyone else with one of these fitted tested it looking at the displays?

I'll do that when I get a chance. I'm wondering where the display gets it reading from, if it's from the ECU would it read differently with the piggy back on? I'd guess not as the ECU on the car would read as stock wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, all piggybacks operate by manipulating values read by the DME to get the desired results. This can lead to seeing inaccurate data shown on the display as it's merely reporting what is seen from the DME.

Getting your M3/M4 dynoed will show exact power to the wheels.

Thanks Tom, as I thought. I can definitely tell that the car is quicker.

Question, I am taking my car in for service. How do I put the tune back to stock? Or would it be recommended to completely remove everything from the car?

You can remove the tune completely or remove the e-Tronic only and use the bypass plug included with the unit to bypass it completely.

Depends on what is meant by unplugged.

Unplugging power will cause CAN errors, the control unit can be removed as long as the bypass block is installed. Or the entire e-tronic can be removed.

Bypass plug would be the easiest way.
