I ran my 135i for over 60k miles with an Evolve remap - no issues.
And don't worry - he's not a guinea pig - I've been running the Evolve tune on my 1M for over 10k miles.... |
He's running a custom map, so different than the one you put 10k miles on (and 10k miles is nothing to write home about).
Fundamentally there are only three main knobs any tuner can turn in the quest for more power- ignition advance, fuel and boost, and all have real consequences.
Where you can't rely on experience you need to fall back on reputation, and I do hope Evolve's holds up in this case. But what you essentially have here is
not one tuner able to make more power, but rather one tuner being comfortable pushing the line further than another... That alone shouldn't impress anyone.
