HA HA! Nah!
Now please, please, please tell me what throttle response is when the clutch is depressed! The dead throttle pedal with the clutch in really annoys me. |

Glad you are happy with the sounds not getting lost.
I was unsure if you would, since I never had the PPK. I get lots of it in 1st and 2nd gear, but almost no pops, crackles, and gurgles above that, just that sweet, glorious PE sound. I am actually considering Stage 3 since the price drop. Nobody I have found on here has gone from S2 to S3 to speak to the difference. Also, supposedly the S2 tune has an optional box to check if the car has an upgraded FMIC, to take advantage of cooler air. Getting a new FMIC and re-flashing Stage 2 is another option I am looking at. Welcome to the family, Steve! Interested to hear your impressions in a few days. I know at first I wasn't that impressed, but after 3-4 days and some hard pulls to adapt the tune, I was really happy.

Went out last night and the car felt considerably stronger than it did yesterday during the day. Very noticeable. Like 20-30% more torque. Again, maybe wishful thinking on my part, but it is more than I expected considering I'm coming from PPK, which is less than the power jump you took. Also very smooth increase in power. Nothing herky jerky. This is just what I wanted and expected from Dinan. Very happy with my decision. Thanks to all (including you) who encouraged me to do it. Check with Frank 135i Vert, as he went from Stage 2 to stage 3 and he said he was pretty happy. The tune itself is only a couple hundred dollars more, but their high capacity oil cooler and high performance intercooler will cost you approx. another $3000. Granted, you don't have to buy Dinan parts, but it's still expensive. Good luck if you decide to do it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Last edited by Esteban; 04-21-2016 at 01:13 PM.. |

I'm starting to love Stage 3. The car pulls way harder in 3rd gear? Can't wait to hear more about your thoughts(likes and dislikes) Enjoy.

My thoughts are above and so far, I'm loving it and I think it's just going to get better with time. You new Berk exhaust sounds awesome. Saw and heard your new video and it's really good! Congrats! |

I'm actually trying to get ramps to roll the car onto so I can just put it in neutral to roll out of the garage in the morning. Lucky for them, the car doesn't get driven every day and it gets put away from Oct-April. So they only have to deal with it for 6 mos out of the year...lol

Update: Have had more time with the car and it is very smooth and fast. Sometimes I scare myself! Haha! Kidding.
Will get used to it with more time. So far, so good. No regrets. Last edited by Esteban; 04-22-2016 at 02:12 PM.. |

Any new impressions now that you've had a few weeks with the tune?

There's a street by my house that I like to drive on that is completely empty late at night where there is a good distance between stop signs. This street is straight and pretty wide and feels safe to drive fast on. I can usually get to 100mph and still have room to slow down and stop comfortably at the next stop sign. Now I can get to 120mph with ease. Probably could go faster. It may sound dangerous but it's not (really). Happy I got it and thanks again to all the members that encouraged me (like you). Big plus - All my pops and crackles are still there! Last edited by Esteban; 05-12-2016 at 01:33 PM.. |
