So the car ran on 5psi of boost with no problems, on the stock ECU without you having to play with the ECU? Or did you play with the ECU while running 5psi. Little more details please.

We will most likely have a solution to this problem some point here in the near future. Technik, who is doing the ECU flash for our M3 turbo kits will be helping us resolve these issues. I just finished driving our Turbo'd M3 today. Today, we're shipping the car to Technik to be tuned. Here's a really quick video I took before the transport comes.

Asking...
Asking should never hurt anyone. The worst that can be said is "No"
I boy will feel shame... But a man, a real man can walk on... And produce the best work ever... |

Of course, I'm no professional tuner, and I'm probably oversimplifying the problem. Just curious to see what I'm missing. |

Hey HorsepowerFreak guy- how much is a new head gasket for an E90? Word on the street is that you should know.
KaaaaaaaaaBoom.... |

Chris,
I bet you could make a small fortune by selling us downpipes to replace our cats with. Would you be willing to make them? Also, Would it be easy to replace cats with a downpipe and vice versa? |

I have some experience with this tuning arena for FI, and generally speaking, you just cant have a "black box" on the O2 sensor signal, or MAF input signal, apply some level of signal correction to the readings and fool the ECU into thinking everything is normal. The ECU generally either throw codes (because it can sense even the slightest deviation from what things should be) or will adapt itself around the correction.
I mentioned my doubts earlier on about this project, and although I was correct, having talked to Chris, I think they will eventually realize a solution. Their partnership with Technic will only help. Horsepower freaks know quite a bit about FI, the BMW ECU though, is a totally different animal than its Japanese and Domestic counterparts. Hell, our ECU has to be advanced to control these motors! |

Hey, I was just wondering, cause I dont really know much about re-flashing the ECU to make it work with the turbo... but i wanted to know if that means the speed limiter will be removed also. Like my car now is limited at 135. Will I be able to go full speed after the re-flash?

The 135 means you dont have sport and you have a 325. Without the suspension, its very dangerous, not that its that much safer with ZSP. With the 325, I dont think you will go faster than 145-150.
