Let's say if the dealer upgrades the ECU's software will the tune be removed? Also does this remove the rev limiter or the speed limiter?

If the dealer upgrades the ECU's software the tune would get overwritten yes, the tune would have to be written in again.

Speed limiter we can remove, no point in adjusting the rev limit at the moment (though we of course can)

And would this entail having to buy a new tune from Evolve?

No no, all retunes are supplied free of charge.

Paul, could you give the collective "us" an idea of the process of removing the ecu and shipping it? Do you have a tutorial somewhere on your website?

Not as of yet though we will do after the next one is done and can talk anyone through it.

On Monday we will take some pictures and do a small write up on how to remove the DME for people who are not local and can't have us do it.

More of a reason now to come check out our new shop.

By far one of the coolest things you've showed me at the shop! It's pretty cool how precise and accurate everything was designed!

I still would like to see some dyno plots. I guess I have to wait till Concentric190 post his

Isn't it 99% the same as removing it from the n54 platform? Or is the location different? Can't imagine it is.

But i'm not sure how I feel about dealer visits with a tune.
Maybe I'll go look for a spare ecu

Anyone have a part # / price?

[crazyinp]

Any updates...

Went to a-spec yesterday but we couldn't find a rpm signal to go off of. I really wanted to see the TQ numbers from this tune (can't get that without rpm signal) so I chose not to do it and find a dyno that could pick it up or figure out a way to get the signal.

Sorry it didn't workout. If you don't mind driving out to St. Charles, I highly recommend taking it to Dean's Performance.

He's dyno'd a ton of E46 M3s from ChiTownM and an E90 M3 for VS Motorsports.

You should be able to tap into the RPM reading from the DME. If I have time, I can try to take a pic of which wire it is. I'm pretty sure it's black or purple though

[Concentric190]

I think I'm going to try going to performance autowerks since I've dynod my M3 there. I want to go today but not sure if they're open :-/

[Concentric190]

Alright, scheduled dyno for this Thursday at Performance Autowerks, They have a mustang dyno.
