Looking for remote tuner for SC S65

I have recently bought a G-power supercharger kit from a local enthusiast, the kit is brand new as he never ended up using it. I have tried to contact G-power in Germany for over a week through email, Facebook and IG with no response. I would like to get some suggestions on a good remote tuner here in the states, I will rent dyno time at a local shop.

Thanks
DJ

Did you purchase it from a guy in Kansas City by any chance? My friend is selling one lol. Anyway, I don't think you will be able to remotely tune it. You would need some Dyno time. I would contact Epic Motorsports and see what Randy has to say

Yes I bought it from Pablo in KC, I have no problem renting dyno time I just need some recommendations on a tuner that can tune live remotely and does a solid job.

I really don't see a way remotely tuning that sucker. And yes, Pablo is my good friend

Edit: unless you purchase the tune directly from G-Powet, then you will be able to remotely tune it. But they still will need to send you OBD cable locked to your Vin and stuff

So you are telling me that if I rent a dyno, log a run, email it and tuner makes adjustments and emails it back, I upload it and log another run etc etc there is no way of doing that? I am pretty sure people have done that before.

The "tuner" has to be the one doing all stuff on dyno right there with the car. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Edit: for your specific case with a supercharger that has never been sold in US

I am not sure why it matters where the kit is from, it on 7lbs of boost most of the tuners should have a base tune that’s pretty close just needs a little tweaking to be perfect. I am new to BMWs but I have built turbo cars before and had them dyno tuned.

Contact Karl at Active Autowerke.
He will tune it for you.
He can sell you a data log cable/software and tune the setup for you.
Trust my input on this and at least give him a call.
Cant hurt to get some honest feedback.

Thank you ^

We've tuned many GPower kits, both M5 V10 and M3 S65. Active is a good choice as well.
