Tuning Help?

My car is currently running Challenge Race+ X-pipe and Akrapovic Slip on now I was wondering which tune would be the best to go with. Dinan or ESS. My dealership offers Dinan vehicles and/or parts, so my inclination is to go with them but I would like to hear some input if possible. Thanks

There are several different tunes available as you can tell. If you are interested we offer a 30 day money back guarantee. But honestly, do your research, many are either running our tune or BPM. Can't go wrong with either or.

I have the BPM tune and love it! Just yesterday my friend (with same setup as me except for ESS tune) drove my car and got out and said "so that's what the BPM tune is all about!". He said he felt more torque under 3k (my 2nd favorite aspect of the tune...the first one being how smooth power delivery is). Plus you get the bonus of his new servo tronic steering software. I'm getting it next week FREE to new/past customers! I would talk to Mike (BPM) and Alex (evolve) and see which tune fits your needs. From what I have read I would not do Dinan (nothing bad with it, but nothing good either). If you're anywhere near Long Island you can drive my car.

I have the Dinan tune, and I can't say I could feel a difference with it. The only thing I could feel was that at freeway speeds it seemed like I didn't have to press the throttle as much to keep a constant speed. Could just be throttle mapping. Not sure if any other tune would make a noticeable difference though. I mean 8-10hp isn't much to begin with. The only reason I went for it was because it was significantly cheaper than any of the other tunes and it got rid of my CEL light.

I'm leaning towards the bpm, probably cancel the Dinan setup tomorrow.

Definitely go with BPM. I looked for almost a month, and decided on BPM because of all the fantastic reviews. I honestly was skeptical at first, because I was afraid that since I didn't see a single bad review, that it was too good to be true, however, after talking with Mike, that removed all hesitation.

I can't express how happy and pleased I am with his tune. It truly is extraordinary. So much so, that I have already had several friends of mine purchase tuning / coding from him. They also couldn't be happier.

Good luck!

I know a lot of happy BPM customers here in Germany. The word is out and we've got folks switching from ETS and ESS to BPM.
