With COBB you can also contact many different pro-tuners that are experts in creating a map specifically designed for your car. Most protuners usually charge around $200 for this, and then about $50 for each additional map you request. For example, if you tell them to create a map where you want linear throttle delivery, consistant performance and a smooth powerband down low/up top etc for a road course environment, they can dial it in to do just that, tailored for your specific car, conditions, and gas quality. Or if you wanted an all out performance map to go along with that, they can do that for you as well. Pretty much anything you want is available to you, and you can always just hook up the COBB to change the map instead of going back to a GIAC dealer for a reflash for example. Just really convienient and accomplishes the same task, a flash tune. All in all with whatever option you choose, you WILL be happy as they are all quality flash tunes. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, and it's all a personal preference, just make sure you avoid the piggy's (I've been down that road already. Not great ) Also, good choice on doing the intercooler before the tune, especially down here with the heat. It will just allow your car to breath much better and feel more lively and consistent.

Forge 1M/ N55 Specific FMIC
Even the tech commented on the craftsmanship and fitment of this piece. I had to stop and look at it for awhile upon opening, it is just stunning! Thanks to Harold @ HP Autowerks for helping me get this hard-to-find piece ordered/ delivered so quickly! Harold really goes above and beyond for his customers. I have been able to experience this personally on more than one occasion and it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

So in love... OMG
I am so in love with this GIAC Stage 2 software! My 1er is a true beast now! From idle to the way she goes in every gear, I could not be ANY happier/ want anything more/ different! I can not believe the idle, it is so strong sounding! She is perfect/ BETTER than I ever could have expected/ or imagined! Words can not express how much I love my car even more now! This new set up is just so right! Thanks to Harold @ HP Autowerks for all of the assistance with parts and educating me! I will try and get to a dyno done over the weekend to report back my gains.
For someone like myself who used to be so anti-tuning, and for me to feel this way now says a whole lot. Burger ruined the idea of tuning for me due to the problems I had with my 135i and JB+. But when you do a flash, and coupled with all the correct hardware/ bolt ons etc, there is such a difference. GIAC you rock/ have made a true believer out of me when all hope was lost! When the tuning is done properly, it makes all the difference

A testimonial that leaves little doubt about your appreciation ... (Just don't go forgetting about mothers day next week!)
Wondering what all the not so obvious settings are for: -Kill? (whatever the target of this setting is, this is a not a good name for it) -Pump? (is it the eco friendliest setting?, what difference in fuel consumption?) -MTOX? (what basic optimization directions are possible?) |

If I am correct, if turns off the boost all together.

KW V3 Installed/ Aligned and Corner Balanced
KW V3 Installed/ aligned and corner balanced. It takes a lot less work now to accomplish that much more behind the wheel. That comfortable cruise speed of 60 is now 90. Until at least 90 you just don't feel like your moving at all fast. Cornering is obviously a butt load more fun. It truly feels the more you are focused the faster you can possibly corner. Here is a pic before corner balance and alignment. More to come after shoot today! Thanks again to member carchrism5, nothing but a true pleasure to work with!
