I just got the tune. No complaints at all as far as the motor tune and the DCT flash. I remember reading that after the DCT flash/tune that the trans would remember the last setting when in the D mode. Mine always defaults to 2 bars lit. I always drive on 4 (Bars) when I am in D. Also with the items sent am I able to flash back to stock myself or do I have to get in touch with Alex.

I got no files! I will reach back out to him. Maybe I just got him on a bad day (We all have them). I can tell the difference with the shifts and power. May I am just use to switching maps/tune with the push of a button with my EVO. |

Is the Stage 2 tune any different from the Stage 1 tune, other than suppressing the CEL? As in, are AFRs or ignition or any other component tweaked based on the hardware changes to the exhaust?
I'm looking at starting with your stage 1 with DCT/Servo/MDM, etc. Looks like $800 total, is that right? |

93 octane map!
Long time in the works (literally Jan 2017 when I first started talking to Alex about this), but finally moved cross country this week.
We have 93 as Premium pump gas here on East Coast instead of 91 on the West Coast. I've been waiting 18 months to finally update the ECU and map to 93 octane. We were able to do so today. My M is just a beast now. Way more power than I know what to do with for these roads. It feels like the low end torque has increased even more, and as early as 3k rpm I was feeling a noticeable difference over 91 octane. I daily my M3 and use M mode plenty, so I am extremely sensitive to these changes and how much throttle I normally give in certain locations. Crazy fun. Alex also again helped out with a start up glitch, where my dumb Mac wouldn't recognize the cable. Alex knew exactly what to look for to fix it. I honestly am amazed when I watch him troubleshoot these things. Dude is just ridiculously smart and a huge asset for us here. Still highly recommend this tune if you haven't already. It's absolutely worth it.

I've driven for about 100 miles on stage 2. I haven't really pushed it yet since I'm relearning my drive heights for my car since I placed it on airlift suspension, scraping my front lip and whatnot. I'll see either Monday, Wednesday-Friday being at the shop for a dyno. I thought I would be okay with the cat smell since it feels like I live back in the Philippines with all the smoke/pollution smell. But I might just have to weld back in the 2ndary cats just for the smell but after the dyno
