Is there some announcement from MHD about this yet? If it was going to be available publicly in December I would think they'd have announced it.

What is VIP delivery?

Also, calling a JB4 a $500 boost controller is a bit of an understatement.

Exciting that there are options besides JB4 and Cobb for N55...

@WedgePerformance no plans for the f10 n55's correct? We could use better options and our cars can't produce power like the other n55 F chassis.

VIP delivery is when the dealer preps the car and deliver it to your house, with a full tank. No sitting at the dealership waiting for paperwork. Sales guy shows up to your house, you do a walk around, test drive, if you don't like it, you send the sales guys on there way. Otherwise you take 5 min and sign the papers, they hand you the key and done..

I'm really having fun with MHD N55. Car is a blast at 18.5 psi taper to 13. My Stage 2 map is absolutely amazing. Can't wait to get the mods installed, throw some E85 in and crank up the power. Here is a virtual from the current stage 2 map I'm working on. Just a quick note, I'm not doing the shelf map development for MHD this time around. So this is custom map which will not be available from the MHD store as a shelf map. Time for an LSD.

Information about bench flashing will be available soon. You'll need to pull the ECU and send it to be unlocked. After that you can flash it with MHD N55.

I'm sure there will be something posted soon. Understand that once Martial goes public with the information he will be slammed with questions. He's extremely busy and can't afford to spend time with hundreds of questions a day.

Traction has become a bit of an issue.

[onedubdub]

if i'm running a catless downpipe, will this tune "block" the SES from coming on?

I can imagine lol..I'm completely stock and the traction light flashes in first gear.

How is the DCT trans behaving so far with the tune?

[jmz135]

Wow 437 ft/lbs with no supporting mods is wild. I'm surprised the stock intercooler is handling that amount of boost.

Yes. I'm also looking into building a DPFix.

With the increased torque limit tables and higher load to torque actual, the DCT is shifting extremely quick.

This is nothing... I tuned other N55's on COBB with over 500 ft/lbs. I'm shooting for a nice easy 500 whp daily driver. But... I'm looking to crack 400 whp on stock turbo before upgrading to Pure Stage 2.

Just fuckin with you, I know what VIP delivery is, just funny how it sounded in your post.

I'm kinda jealous of the N55 Folks, turbo swaps are so much easier. Hows the DCT compare to 6AT?

LSD is crucial, I've stopped caring about pure power really... anything above 425whp is unnecessary and gets you in trouble on road courses as I found out last weekend.

DCT is amazing... I'm sure 400 whp is not out of the question even with this little tiny turbo. Car is running super smooth and shifts super quick.

That's awesome. I may have to pickup an n55 dct 135i!

I'd probably throw a pure stage 2 in, once my warranty is up and the E82 becomes a track only car I'm definitely going with an N55 335, 340i or F80 M3. A lot depends on how much progress is made on the N55 tuning front.

Great to see.

I agree the Pure Stage 2 is probably the best option at this time, but I'm sure there will be a lot of single turbo options as well.

I think the N55 will move much quicker. As you can see from this log, things are already looking really good.
