Anyone had any experience with these guys?
http://www.hp-f.com.au/about-2/hpf-n...odel-overview/ Spoke to them today and a full custom dyno tune is what they do. Also, they have done a 1M before. |

Love dealing with these guys, and doing these map updates and logs on my own agenda. I started out with a stage 1 agressive custom map (FMIC and 94 Octane), and now reached stage 2 agressive with 94 Octane. Trying my 4th iterationo of the stage 2 custome tune this week, and the N55 135i is getting scary fast. I have traction issues in 4th gear with my Quaife LSD and Dunlop Direzza ZII 255/35R18 tires (on cold pavement). Just make sure your car's ECU's version is compatible with the Cobb first. I believe support ended for 2012+ N55 engines.

Sounds like that's what these guys are. A PTF type of place.
They have two options 1. Download factory map, and modify using their in house software (they have two developers in house) using dyno runs and modifications on the car. Back and forth, back and forth. AUD 1195 2. Use OTC Cobb map and then custom dyno tune them based on mods on the car. More expensive as you get the Cobb Accessport hardware. That's the difference in the price. AUD 1595 Once you take forex into consideration, this makes more sense than getting the it done overseas via PTF. Also having it close to home makes a big difference to me. Easier to take the car in if something needs doing. Last edited by Iceman21; 03-30-2015 at 08:33 PM.. |

Jesus that's insanely expensive e tunes run 250-300usd, 325-400 aud.
Pro-tuning freaks PTF, also checkout wedge. As for safety you can always de tune if you have an issue, takes 10 minutes. These guys have both been doing it for awhile on lots of cars, they do it safely, as long as you don't specify that you want something unsafe(kill map, dyno glory...) Consider stateside options! For your wallets sake Edit: I just realized your including the price of the hardware on those I assume |

If you are going to be only doing one map only, it makes a lot of sense to go local.
However, if you track the car, you might want a few maps where the Cobb may be beneficial. Check with the guys on the Australian forum to see if anyone has used them before. There are also 1M FB page, and M car muster page which you might find someone on there who might have used them before.
