I can't wait to get my set. This is what a car can do at the coast vs a worked Galardo.

Mine should be running like that in the next month. I will kill it worse though because of altitude.

You have a point revo, but please add more tuning related products to your range, so that we(potential customers) have options as apposed to just having the JB3 rammed down our throats.
Just a friendly suggestion

That wouldn't exactly make sense
Think about it.... we can offer 4 or 5 different options for tuning a 335, which means we can't focus on getting one operating optimally
And customers will then be even more confused, and how would we decide on which tune is better... they'll all cost the same and on paper produce more or less the same results
That's why we use BMS for the x35 tune, but offer many other bolt on's to accompany the tune
In saying that though, if you cmoe to us and ask for a specific brand of tune for an x35, we will get it (since it's your request)
For other vehicles we can flash... in fact, just had a c55 done and will report back on that (even though it's a bmw site)

From what I have seen Revo can procure any performance product. Its good to note that its a JB3 car and internationally its questionable if flash tunes will be able to control bigger turbos.
There was a car in Sweden that battled with the flash tune, it then fitted a JB3 and in the process melted the motor (not 100% tune related). The dude is now going to try a Procede so its going to be interesting to see the outcome.
Out of interest sake the forum that has these turbos for sale is a predominantly JB3 forum. I actually think JB owns the forum but the nice thing is a good portion of the people buying them also use other tunes so it will be great to see various results.
yes, the interesting part is when we, and george, fit these turbos and results using the different tuning platforms..
Of course, there will still be the difference in altitude between the 2 cars.. But that aside, i am sure we all want to see positive results
Just to add, divinci.. Regarding the jb3.
Would you not be more comfortable that we sell 1 tune for x35, knowing that we have tried and tested it thoroughhly on 1 of our own cars, instead of just stocking a host of tunes for the same car.
Again, for other vehicles we do offer flashes.

I have absolutely nothing against JB3, perhaps my comment was not warranted. Just thiking out loud at the time i guess.
Forusre, ofcourse we'd all like to see positive results, from all sides of the spectrum.
And yes i would be more comfortable Revo, if i were modding my car in similar conditions, with similar supporting mods based on your R&D. Which is done thouroughly on 1 car as you mention and is in 1 location. I stand corrected but this is what i take from your post?
It is nice to know that there are options should these conditons vary though, wouldn't you agree?

It think the piggy back platform is very well suitable for a mod like this due to the ability to switch maps on the fly. At the highest boost pressure the piggy back guys have had the need to use methanol for fueling. So if there is no meth flow the car will run lean but the piggy has a fail safe which drops the boost to safer levels as soon as it detects meth flow interuption.
At this stage I am not sure if my tuner will be able to give enough fuel for the highest boost setting without having a to rely on fuel from a meth injector.
It does look promising though as from what I have understood the piggy backs control fueling by increasing fuel rail pressure only where as the flash tune actually uses changes to the actual fueling tables and has the injector rail as a option.

Yep, that's what I meant.
The obvious problem for us, is that we're not based at high altitude, so it's difficult to do any testing.
Also, not everyone is keen on fitting a unit and then have to go back and forth between us and BMS to try and get the most out of the tune.. that will take some time, and let's face it, if you're paying for something, you just want to get in the car and expect it to perform.
This might change in the future as we look to expand our operation to Gauteng. That would mean proper testing for your conditions, and us being more confident knowing what can and can't work with the piggyback, and what the limitations are at altitude.
WRT these turbo upgrades, if nothing else, at least SA would have a set fitted and tested for both coastal and altitude conditions. That can only be good for future modders who would want to look at the option of upgrading their turbos.
So exciting times ahead.
