Is this considered to be a respectable product like PROcede and AA?

I am thinking about getting one. I originally wanted a PROcede, but I think V2 is going to be a little overkill for street use, especially for those who don't want to swap out suspension, tires, wheels to handle PROcede.

From what I can gather, the TT or "SSTT" I guess it's being called now, still has decent gains, and is simpler to install and take out (for dealer visits).

Are there any draw backs to the SSTT? Is it as safe as PROcede, as far as protecting from lean conditions, or other engine damage?

Is it considered a piggy back as well?

I know these seem like basic questions, but well, I am still a newbie when it comes to aftermarket tuning for the 335i.

And yes I did do some mild searching, but since I have a job, I can't spend all day searching on forums, if you know what I mean, so please spare the "search" comments.

Thanks

I wouldn't mind some quick answers to this either, even though I know hidden within this subforum are detailed discussions likely of this topic.

Actually we should just look at the other thread...my 335 is slow.

+1 Curious about this as wel.

Well, I got the ZSP with RFT tires, my only other mod is Blacklines. I don't plan to do much else other than few cosmetic alterations (front lip, rear spoiler). I don't think new tires, wheels and or suspensions are a prerequisite.

My 335i performs like a street car when I drive it like one, and has the power when I get on it when I want it.

Here are my perosnal observations from my experience:

1) It truly takes the car to a new dimension. Aside from the increased power that you feel immediately, the RPM structure per gear seems to be more fluid providing smoother shifting transitions, especially when down shifting. I'm not sure what causes this and is hard for me to explain but something I noticed right away. My view, it is worth the price of admission alone!

2) I have put about 750mi on mine with no problems at all.

3) I would argue the PROcede should be the 1st performance mod you perform, maybe the 1st mod period. It was my 1st mod and well worth every $$

4) The Team at Vishnu is extremely helpful and provides excellent customer service.

5) The install looks a bit overwhelming at first, but it is not hard at all. See number 4

6) I personally was a bit hesitant at first (thought about it for 2 days), thinking that I would not recognize that much of a difference.....it didn't take long to satisfy my concern. The 1st stop light with no one in front of me took care of that real fast.

Yes, but you have V1.47. V2 is going to be overkill for street use especially with all other stock components. Maybe Shiv would entertain the idea of keeping a "slower" version similar to V1.47 but with all the other benefits of V2.

[fanman]

There are two products.

The first is from Eurobahn called the TURBO Tuner. It is a good product. It gives good gains, while being simple & fast to install. Eurobahn has been on this board a long time & they are a quality company. Here is their website :

http://eurobahn.us/turbotuner.html

While it is not as sophisticated or will not give you greater gains than a PROCEDE or AA XEDE it is aimed at a different market. It's for the people who are not technologically saavy at all, but are willing to give up absolute maximum power for simplicity.

[OpenFlash]

Our advice is to immediately rule out anything that doesn't actually adjust ignition timing. And tweaking the intake temp signal does not cut the mustard in this respect. Pretty common sense stuff for those who have experience tuning cars (especially turbo'd ones).

This just shows that you haven't driven a 335i with Procede. Standing launches are only one very minor (imo.. irrelevant) thing against more HP/torque. I have Procede v1.47 and get very little wheelspin throughout 1st and 2nd. It's certainly controllable. It's even absent if I don't use my foot as an on/off switch. Now up that by 40lbs-ft torque and 30-40HP and I will actually have to use some skill to launch the car (God forbid). The real place where this improvement will shine is the long-term combination of reliability and higher end passing power. I can't wait. Stock runflats and all... :rocks:

Isn't ECU adapting the ignition as needed? I thought you use that feature instead of providing different ignition maps for 91 and 93 oct. If you feel ignition should be adjusted, shouldn't you provide adjusted maps for different octane ratings?
V2 might change that though. When are the V2 harnesses available? Thanks for any info!

its in the this forum aswell.

here some other info.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ht=turbo+tuner

some info i have seen
600$
easy install/uninstall
7 day money back gurantee
2 year warranty on the device
4psi boost
30+ whp and wftlb
cannot be found by dealer once removed
works with the stock ecu and its safety measures



The design features a soft limit circuit that avoids overboost. This protects the engine from boost spikes and preserves drivability
"if the temperature gets too hot under the hood, we reduce power. We also pull back on power if the in take air temps climb to a unsafe level" jeff from E.B.

its not to be compared with the procede and others... its half the price and give less torque. but its easy to install/unistall within like 3 minutes and gives a nice kick in power.

if u got the money, go procede.. if not this is another route...

heres driver's video.. he can explain and im sure the procede with more equal condition might pull a bit more.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0...0b016b39e0.htm

by the videos I wouldn't say it's anywhere near as big a difference as I thought there would be. the first video actually looks like the coupe (tt) has the advantage until he lets off. the others look like it's 1/2 or 1 car at best. the one from the dig is just the auto launching better... I still think the proced makes more power, but maybe not as much more as I origionally thought...

Thanks for chiming in. I really do want your product Shiv, I just think for me, V2 is going to be overkill. Would you consider a toned down version ala V1.47 with the additional features of V2? Your price point isn't an issue for me, I would gladly pay for your product if there were some toned down options.

I think overall you would increase your sales and clientel if you offered some options for those who are not out to set the land speed record in their 335i.

Are you saying that you would stay away from the Turbo Tuner as well?
I don't think the Turbo Tuner adjusts timing.

It doesn't, it also does nothing with IAT either. That myth needs to be put to bed.

FYI -- One of the greatest thongs about the PROcede is that you can drive it either like Mario Andretti or like your grandma. It's not an on/off switch; it's very controllable...you can either go easy (like a totally stock car), go somewhat hard, or you can really pour it on (like a MONSTER that it can be)! I would expect PROcede v2.0 to be no different. A PROcede 335i feels much like a stock 335i, only it can be much, much faster...if/when you want it to!!! If you're worried about PROcede v2.0 being "too much," then don't.

not saying its true, just what the vendor has said..

Seems that Jeff might not know what happens... Especially "As octane increases the extra bump in boost automatically calls for more fuel and increased timing." How does this "extra bump in boost" just "happen" due octane?? "We ... make the needed changes in fuel and timing" is not correct either.

Well, nothing against Jeff from Eurobahn, but he is not the tuner. The company, Split Second is the actual mfgr. of the Turbo Tuner, while Jeff @ Eurobahn is the distributor.

+1 and ecu adaptation capability is used by Procede as well.

[TheLegacy]

he was searching for words... its not that it does timing like we think. Can always ask split second. As said jeff is just a vendor.

[FotiosF90M5]

over 5000 miles with turbo tuner and no problems at all.I like it.

Well...it stands to reason that you will carve out more from PROcede as you add additional performance mods, however if you want the most under your hood all else being equal, PROcede is it. The question you need to answer is do you want to pay for it. I plan to order a V2 upgrade as soon as I can, I want to most under my hood. I'm certain I will monetize most of what PROcede can deliver, with the option to squeeze out a bit more if I want to add more to my car
