Thank you for the response. Glad to hear you got the car back running at 100%.
That is definitely some odd and unwanted engine activity. Makes me wonder what the source of the issue was

If I have an N51 SULEV 128i do I even have this vacuum? (i.e. no turbo)

Please let me know if you ever decide to try the tune again! (now that the issues are gone)
Ive heard it opens up a lot of drivability.... better pedal response as well as some other remapping of fuel and air.

Were you able to revert back to the factory tune and clear the faults or did the faults persist with the factory settings? My 128i is still stock, but at some point I'd like to do the 3-stage IM and software tune. I'd also like to do headers, but I have to e-test here and that makes me a bit nervous.

I was able to go back to stock. Still have yet to try the tune again.
