BPM Stage II Tune or Turner Stage II Tune

I'm getting the TTP for my car, and I've been debating which tune to get, Turner or BPM both Stage II. I've read countless of posts on BPM Tune, all great things, and I have not heard anything from Turner, not only that, but I don't see Turner actively on this forum, which is kind of a let down.... My debate is.... If I'm getting the TTP it just makes sense to get the Turner Tune since it's their product, and I'm sure they have tested over and over again with their Stage II Tune, on the other hand, BMP has tons of great reviews, and Mike is very pro-active on these forums.

Help me decide!!!!

Thanks!

We've done quite a few cars with Turner and ACM testpipes with great results.

Let us know if we can be of any assistance. The gains will likely be very similar although we offer a few features that they do not.

Thanks!

Doesn't matter which test pipes you have (Turner, MS, ACM), they do the same thing and are all relatively identical. I am biased toward BPM as that is what I have (ACM pipes). So to answer your question, I would chose BPM...

The reviews kind of speak for themselves. That's what made me go with BPM, I've yet to hear a bad review (product or service). Test pipes are pretty simple, so that's not the biggest thing to worry about, you can go with whatever.

I think Turner is great,also in motorsports and when their tune is designed it's done,and with BPM (Mike-Benvo) it is a continuously improvement that never stops and he will be always a step ahead to the others tuners,and also the options....you can actualy desing your own tune !
From what i have read on this forum, and what friends from this forum have told me ....Mike knows what he is doing(experience) ,and all this people are very happy !
So when i read all the reviews from all this people,i think it's smart to do the same thing !
And for me it's a question of time (i need find the time ) i'm very busy ,but i will contact Mike...and i want the BPM tune v v v

Thanks for all the responses, it really helps. It looks like I will be going with Mike from BMP very hard to ignore so many great reviews. I still need to decide and price out the Test Pipes.... I'll respost with results.

Thanks again to everyone!

I'm sure many of the tunes are very similar in performance, some are more popular than others which is evident from the forum discussions. One consideration is that once you buy the tune, there is no resale value since its vin locked. If you think you may supercharge sometime in the future, I think ESS, VF, and AA may allow you to upgrade to the SC kit and related tune at a discounted rate. Can anyone confirm that?

I have the BPM tune, its a great NA tune no doubt. Already I'm starting to get the itch for more power, and a SC may be in my future. I should have considered this myself earlier, but maybe if BPM starts doing FI tunes, I can buy a used SC kit and be in good shape! And Mike, while your at it, we could use a meth tune too! =P

We can definitely do FI tunes! We've done them for several customers.

I believe Turner uses GIAC for their tuning and although I am not saying GIAC is a bad tune, my experience with them when I had my 997S was that the tune wasn't that beneficial.

BPM all the way...you won't be disappointed.

Hijacking the thread ... used sports+ for the first time since getting the BPM Stage I, and almost peed in my pants when I floored the car. What response and the noise from the ///PE was just near formula 1. After this experience I am not sure whether I want to go down the path of Turner Test pipes and BPM Stage II. That will be licence to lose the licence in Australia.

Mike Benvo, what have you done man?

I would say in the next 1-2 weeks. We have done it for a few cars on here already and hopefully they will chime in and let us know how it is.

Have you worked on a meth NA tune yet?

OP, I would go with Benvo. Turner is a reputable company but it is much easier to go with a tune that has been run by many forum members with positive reviews. Mike is also a nice guy, he came up and complimented my car and introduced himself one time when I ran into him at a chipotle near my school.
