I bet if your car was totally 100% out of tune then these guys can surely get 30% increase in hp but if you think you have a good set up and a fairly good tune you could get barly any hp increase ---

I think this is awesome. I prop ya for spending the greenbacks , but keeping low expectations…but shows there is still HOPE in this world. Im glad and anxious to see if you get more than20 hp. I would think that’s absolute max…and understand when I say all this, I still have HOPE there is a Santa Claus. I hope you prove there is a Santa. I really do! ---

What i said is at least plausible. Your dumbass is going to waste 600 dollars on something that guaruntees 30% increase. Yeah thats funny. The tune is $490 and im a big boy little guy, if I can rip up $500 when I am extremely mad at someone to prove a point and I can paypal liski money for no damn reason at all I THINK ill be alright spending $490 in hopes that ill see SOME kind of gain… I wont lie to you, I’d kinda be dissapointed with anything less then a 20HP(not20%) however an exhaust and intake which imo would make LESS then a 20hp gain would be FAR FAR more expensive then the price of this tune… I have thought it out, there really is no way to loose. lousy intake for my car, $400 alone.

The good thing is you’re not expecting the claims they’ve given you. It’ll be interesting to see how it does. I checked out their site last night just to see if they have any asterisks or fine print by their claims, but there weren’t any except for when you look up the applications. If I recall, you have a 540, right? If so, I think they made a claim of +30-40hp. So if that’s true, that’d be about 25-33whp which is believable. ---

u sure they didnt mean 30hp? on their website they only claim up to 60hp on the 335, and thats with more boost. so only 20% on a turbocharged application. did f1 tell you this or autohaus? edit i guess others just said that didnt read the last 2 posts. ---

Dyno’d car today as well as dropped off my car at Autohaus directly after. Of course with anything IM involved in theres complications so instead of the 1 hr tune they have to mail my ecu out and have it flashed/tuned by the person they mail it to. I guess they are not capable of flashing the e39 ecus themselves, only newer model bmws like the 335 they did… This being said it should take about 2-3 days so I guess well just have to wait until then. ---
