the only way you would ever get caught according to a top tuner in the states is if bmw physically takes your car and puts it on the dyno and sees figures way above what it makes stock, but bmw would never do that.

If he can steal so can i. Well done.

Ok, what exactly we stealing buddy? Gold?


You are assisting in helping your clients make fraudulent claims for breakages that arise from running the engine outside the parameters the designer and warranty provider specified as per the warranty agreement in your car. But hey.

You ever modified any of your cars? Are you ever consider it? Are you just campaigning for the rest of the free world?

Please ignore the "fraud" comments.

I think maybe do another post of how it works and get a mod to pin it. It'll be easy to just point those with doubts there.

(I'm in no way taking sides, coz I genuinely no nothing about the topic)

Only one and only after the engine expired, thought when rebuilding might as well build a little devil.

I'm not the kind of person that mods the shit out of my car and then expects someone else to pickup the tab.

None of our cars failed buddy. In order for there to be fraud, there would have a fraudulent claim, would there not? Show me which car engine failed as a result of my tuning and resulted in a fraudulent claim? Let me give you brain some info to the contrary actually. I was contracted by 3 OEM's to fix maps on certain models for our conditions.

1. Mini for the superknock on certain models. I did 4 cars for a dealership & I got paid by BMW. Loads of these mini's had their engine replaced and the updates from BMW were not working. Very simple to eliminate knock in a map, by just retarding the ignition timing. You lose 5-10kW but you save BMW hundreds of thousands in engine claims per car.

2. Audi A4 1.8T 140kW. The infamous pinging model. Did around 7 cars before Audi released an update to fix it. But Audi lost a lot of ground in those few months where all those cars were pinging.

3. Hyundai Veloster Turbo. When they were releases, all the cars had a major flatspot at the onset of boost. This was logged with Hyundai and escalated. The Koreans said they would send a a technical team down to evaluate and make changes to mapping for African conditions, but it would take 3-4 months to do. In that period I fixed 11 cars for them and once again the checque came directly from Hyundai.

What's my point? Mapping a car doesn't mean it's gonna fail. It actually makes the engine more efficient. A map is released by an OEM to run in a large range of variables. From Death valley California with 55deg heat to Siberia with -55 deg heat. from 81 to 101 fuel. Various barometric pressure conditions.

If you car is running in a certain set of variables like Johannesburg with 95 RON, then all that "Fat" built into the map can be eliminated. It can be mapped for your conditions, your fuel, your variables with al the safety measures still in place. There's no fraud here, we actually making the car run better. When the car is mapped it's mapped very conservatively with horsepower and other efficiencies left on the table.


I though the dearly departed Gert Vorster was involved with the Audi one?

Irrespective. I understand exactly to what extend the margins of error that gets built into these engines, you remove the margin and viola more power.

I have my personal opinion about tuners but will keep that nugget for myself.

@Rotinaj, still waiting for your reply to that other thread but I see you're very busy on here :fencelook: Not the first time I've seen your 'statements' and doubt it will be the last, but gives me an indication of how you draw insights/conclusions and the quality therein... https://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=87283&highlight=shadow+line


Anyway, every individual is different and has their own take on the world (whether it be right or wrong), as they say about opinions... Judging from your responses on something that has zero direct bearing on your life, you are the poster boy for morality. :bravo:

Its always being simple. It will remain your responsibility if you decide to tune the car under MP. Its your choice. No one is forcing you.

True. But this entire saga stinks of fraud.

Tuner promises high and low it's undetectable as to not void your warranty/motorplan - stinks of trying to defraud the manufacturer (helping someone steal is still being part of a crime)

You do xxx to your car because you believe that you won't get caught and if your tuner screwed up the manufacturer will pickup the tab - blatant fraud.

Lastly some boitie from South Africa is smarter than a bunch of engineers that designed the thing not to mention countless tuners in the rest of the word, while not impossible statistically that happening is slim.

You stealing our Oxygen :eek:mgwaiting:

Although I'm not a fan of your attitude, I wholeheartedly agree in that tuning to suit specific conditions is the ultimate in guaranteeing efficiency, well, as far as the software is concerned.

• You offer a “non-detection” guarantee, fantastic.
• You claim that the engine and I assume associated components aren’t over
stressed, fantastic.

Sounds like you’re winning.
