Well if 87hp is 30% then your talkin what a 50whp increase? On a NA car it sounds not likely ---

there’s just no way man. no fucking way a tune is going to net that much of a gain. even if he’s tuning for a TON of ignition timing on an alternate fuel (E85/race gas)…no fucking way. ---

He dyno’d it stock and with an f1 tune, exhaust and intake and got a 73whp gain… exhaust might have been good for 4-6hp and intake another 3-4, wherd the rest of the gains come from? ---

Not fake, he added exhaust and intake which are usually pretty substantial on a **TURBO** vehicle… the fuel and timing are probably barely touched, but they add boost pressure because it’s controlled by the ecu. I bet that exhaust and intake alone were worth close to 20whp on their own. I am just saying, with an ECU as sensitive as a BMW DME that re-learns you will be hard pressed to find ANY (substantial) gains ESPECIALLY WITH A MAIL ORDER TUNE. Save your money, bro… mail order tunes are a joke. ---

i agree with everyone else in the thread, no way you are gonna see a 30% increase. I’de say about 7hp , thats my guess. good luck tho, post results for sure ! See if you can get some statement in writing concerning the hp claims for YOUR car ---
