Just got my issue of Fast Times by Bavarian Autosport and they advertise a "Turbo Tuner" - was wondering if anyone has heard of this and how well does it work ? The website says it adds 40hp and 50 ft lbs tq for only $599.95.

A bunch of people have it on the e90 forum. I have heard good things about it. I just want more power!!!

There is turbo tuner, proceede, JB2, dinan, many tuners. If you want to know alot, go to e90post.com and do a search there is so many threads there about all the tuners.

Turbo Tuner is a good mod. If you want to keep it simple and not have to take apart the ecu, this is the one for you. You can put it on and take it off in minutes. Dynos have shown this with a new drop in filter to add 50whp.

I have one on my 335i and havent dynoed it but it definitley pulls much harder.

SSTT2(2nd version) is supposed to come out in a month. The main thing is to disconnect the battery while installing and uninstalling it and another requirement is you need to have slender fingers to install it:biggrin:

Looking at Helix or V2 for my 135i.

BForbes · 02-04-2008, 05:43 PM

Can the dealer trace this?

All piggyback devices are untraceable by the ECU by design.

Personally, I'll be going with Helix, given my proximity to their facility. Their posting the biggest gains helps the case too, heh.

SSTT and JB2 are good options as well, and add a lot of power for not a lot of coin.

Someone with a PROCeed had their warranty voided by an uptight dealer even though he took it out of the car.

Many dealers are selling the TT.

That was because he didn't quite finish the job of taking it out. I forget the details, but the dealer noticed some portion of the install he left behind.

When are we going to get some Helix dynos?

They're philly, actually. They posted some dynos on E90post, was 60rwhp gained over stock on a dynodynamics, which usually reads 10-15% lower than a dyno jet, which is pretty equivalent to V2 procede, very promissing given it's beta software on an otherwise unmodded car.

lifesaride · 02-05-2008, 11:42 AM

The TT sounds like a good, cheap, clean mod. It'd be good usable power too. I can't wait to see what the 1 can do with it.

BForbes · 02-05-2008, 12:15 PM

600bucks?? thats a bit too cheap. I cant help it but to be nervous.

Dude, it's the safest piggyback out there. Many dealer's sell it.
You can get even better gains from the JB2 for less. Many have used it without problems. http://www.burgertuning.com/
I just hope there are no pissing contests here between Shiv and Terry.

scottn2retro · 02-13-2008, 11:59 PM

I haven't used their products yet (not legal yet in BMW Club Racing in Stock and Prepared class [hmm]), but I know the owner of Split Second (the maker of the Turbo Tuner) and know that their top priority is making a great overall product for the customer.

I look forward to the day I get to work with them on a race car.

Nice. Do you know him well enough to approach him about the idea of a group buy for the 135i when that version is available? :biggrin:

If they have a new version coming out soon, and we have the first batch of customer 135is arriving in about 6 weeks to tweak & prod, the timing might dovetail nicely. Hint. Hint.

1LazyBmw · 02-14-2008, 02:12 AM

I think the best product will be determined when it is avaliable and people post gains and possible issues they encountered. Right now we are all just referring to other forums and previous experiences on a different car =)

I can approach him about the idea. I believe, thru Eurobahn, they have already tried testing of the product on the 135i in England.
