Thanks... How would I figure that out for the 8 speed boxes? Any idea?sash said:

So if I had my normal non-wedding year budget, I would have gone with the following mods:
1. TMSS dp - will still have this done in about a months time hopefully. Car is due for a service in 1800km so figured I might as well have it completely stock. Front brakes are due for a change on this one.
2. JBD unit (when available) - I emailed Burger Tuning in Dec asking about development on the JBD unit for the F30 330d. Unfortunately, I receive a reply from Terry Burger stating "Nothing planned for the F series diesel market currently, sorry."
Not very encouraging
and a rather short email (that's literally his full reply), so my first interaction with Burger Tuning was an astounding thumbs down.I have a Plan B play that we will discuss a bit later on, so no worries. I was hoping for the JBD unit for its logging capabilities... I need hard data for my decisions - it's just how I work. But let's see what else I can do for that.
For vag cars, I bought an OEM VCDS cable which worked great. Software was updated for it almost every quarter. I saw the Rheingold thread here... When I have some mental capacity, I'll try to get my head around that.
3. Seeing that the stock intake system doesnt look ridiculously restrictive, I'm thinking of getting a simple K&N drop in filter. Will def do this after the service. Want to be able to log airflow before and after to compare. I doubt you'd see a difference on the dyno.
4. Once I manage to log intake temps, I'd like to investigate gains from installation of an uprated cooler like the one from Wagner. I think the same cooler as the 335i is used for the 330d. Could be mistaken though...
All in all, I would have expected those mods to fetch me about 40wkw and 100Nm at the wheels.
Lastly, I want to source a set of LCI wheels when funds permit... I'd prefer not to get reps, after my last encounter with a rather large pothole. But to be fair, I'm sure an OEM wheel would have been damaged just as badly.

Thanks sash.... Very useful info! I see 6th has a ratio of EXACTLY 1:1
Keen to re-dyno in the correct gear as well as in 4th on the same day and see what difference it makes. Will find some time in the next week or two.
In any case, mods wait for nobody, so on we go...
I've started asking around, and SRSpeedworx can offer me TMC Motorsports unit... The TMC website has some massive claims in terms of gains which I do find hard to believe.
48kw gain and 78Nm... Hmmm... I'm sceptical on the claimed power figures. But let's do some more homework.
I've also spoken to CPI Chiptuning who did a stellar job on my VW SCIROCCO. They have recently done a 330d and have seen gains of about 30wkw and 80Nm... I'll go for a drive in this and see what it feels like. Preshen at CPI had had a long history of making things work well...
It would be great if SRSpeedworx could also get some good solid data from their cars with their PNP unit.

Really? Do u have any more info?PandaShae said:
