Unrelated.

Different circuts. And it's not the ABS that will prevent you from doing a burnout, it's DSC/ASC+T, which can be turned off allowing you to do whatever you want. However, on the dyno this could be potentially dangerous. You just have to keep driving the car until it throws the malfunctions.

I'm assuming it requires some form of Internet connection whilst the car is on the dyno?

Also can you put the car in a special mode via flashing unit whilst on the dyno to disable ABS sensors et al that make DCT dynos hard?

mixja: You would have to contact Powerchip Australia, I only work with Powerchip USA.

If you have questions regarding the dyno/powerflash kits, please PM me. I don't want to clutter up this thread.

Nice numbers for sure. Is the Powerchip tune done via OBD II port? Are you able to turn off the secondary O2's if I'm running no cats?

Thanks,

Cool deal . Hopefully you make some sick power!

So now this is turning into AA vs Powerchip, huh? What's next: a drag race between Powertrip and M34jlp? A little friendly competition is always exciting. Having said that, I bet $5 on my buddy Powertrip . Good day.

lol i dont think its a 1 vs 2 thing...but its hard to compare a regular flash vs a custom flash...there is no way to compare my car vs powertrips considering he has alot more mods


i am just interested in getting a proper flash (i think i may have received a flash that wasn't tailored to my car).

Writeup is coming soon.. Was working on it now, but Photoshop CS4 is giving me a licensing issue so I can't resize the .NEF files from my Nikon D80.

I will be offering a special rate to those who switch from another brand to Powerchip.

If you want to switch out to the Powerchip tune, let us know and we'll give you a special rate.

Mike still waiting for a PM back for you with more info on hooking me up with a tune

Sent you a response, I guess you didn't receive it.

Give me a ring at your leisure and we can discuss. I am working on my turbo 7 series for a large part of the day but I have my phone with me.

A couple teaser pics in the mean time:

Trust me, I would love to. I just got back from Munich 3 weeks ago. What an amazing place! I absolutely love Europe. I think I'll go back when I do euro delivery on my 2010 M something.

Sorry for lagging on the writeup. It will be up this week.

Another teaser pic I came across on my blackberry yesterday... A pic from my M3 on the way to pick up powertrips car from his work. You can see how hot it was:

And I can see why you get 14 MPG too.

[BPMSport]

I usually get about 10, just because I drive pretty fast and rarely use the highways.

This car is a godsend in terms of gas coming from the M5. I remember my first tank on the M5 lasted me 105 miles .

Technic: If you would like to arrange such an event, I am totally up for it. As long as we have enough cars to make it worth the trip, we can fly there no problem.

Thanks,
Mike

I just realized that my email in my signature was mike@powerchip.com instead of mike@powerchipgroup.com. Sorry to all of those that sent me emails. If you did not receive a response from me or the email bounced, re send and I'll get back to you right away.
