I am currently looking for a reliable ECU tune and are considering the followings:

Dinan Big Turbo Upgrade

Pure Turbo Stage 2

PP Performance


Some implications... Dinan's tune isn't based on a catless downpipe, if I go with their Big Turbo upgrade with a catless downpipe, I know I won't get the max gain with this kit, but has anyone tried it with a catless downpipe?? What is the result?

Anyone heard of or tried PP Performance before? Their tune without modifying the Turbo claim to provide over 420ps

Pure Turbo Stage 2, according to their page, all it requires is the $2500 kit? Is that it? if I want more power, I should select the other options too? Anyone tried or installed their kit yet?

My last question... while the overall power/torque are increased, how is the overall package like on the track? Anyone with ECU tune taken their cars to the track yet?

My current setup is: Akra catless downpipe & full exhaust and FTP charge pipe. Considering WT intercooler if I were to go with an ECU tune.

CAN is Canada?
Seek no other than proTUNING Freaks

I would do Pure turbos + Jb4 + BM3

Originally from Vancouver, BC. Now doing projects in Asia (Taiwan)... so I really don't have that many choices.. and I don't trust the local tuners here... so I need to rely on sending the ECU abroad for an ECU tune.

Problem is, tuners here don't know their shit... so if it involves all three... I don't know how well it's gonna work out...

For example, check out Jay's car we just helped tune in California. Tune done remotely via bootmod3 with a tuner sitting in Toronto:

bootmod3 platform is made for tuning anyone with an F series BMW anywhere in the World and you can do it on the road if you have the road for it and feel safe, or book some time on the dyno close to you and get it done that way. You can also pick your tuner as the BM3 platform doesn't lock you into any given tuner at all. We also have OTS maps for most common hardware/octane setups at this point to get the ball rolling with. 1 OTS map is included with the purchase of the BM3 software license including all of the currently available features. If adding a JB4 on top for some additional features is something you're considering we can also help you get that setup along with it.

You can choose any tuner in the world and send them datalogs

I get it now... pure turbo for the big turbo and whatever I install onto my car: catless downpipe, full exhaust, intercooler, intake; run the car on the dyno, send the data log to a tuner and with BM3, the tuner will be able to tune my car specifically/customized to whatever hardware I have on my car. Like this?

Also, if I am just running on 93 Octane... I guess the result will be lower that's all? How about turbo lag if I move to the Pure Stage 2? I plan to do a lot of backroads and some track days...

Zero regrets and proTUNING Freaks is 100% the way to go. Their bootmod3 product is awesome. Chances are you will eventually end up going with a flash tune anyways so might as well start with the best.

Check the 2 below threads, one is with stock turbo on Bootmod3, e50 & port injection/aic6 controller (nojb4)
and the other one is Pure Stg2 Turbos on 93 on Bootmod3

More details on OTS map(s) for m2 please? Where can I find them?
