Procede's now rockin- thanks Shiv!
Today the Procede arrived so of course I had to install it RIGHT that minute!
After a little wiring trouble , shes up and running like a champ. Thanks Shiv for answering my questions and walking me through everything. A+ customer support. Im not going to bore you all with details since we've all heard it before. I do happen to think some folks over exagerate the effects of this thing hahah. Simply put, its no rocket ship, but definately pulls nicely. |

Make sure the car's warmed up too... Get the oil temp up. Drive it a couple days. Then report back.

Yeah man, get the temp to about 210 or 240, put it in sport mode and activate DTC--f'in rocket ship. Punch it from almost any speed and it accelerates like a super car.

That may have come out wrong. Its certainly faster, its just not a "rocket ship" as some have said. I was trying to be funny.
I did only get to take 2 runs cause the wife was in the car. Let me report back after a few days of driving it around. To clarify, overall its a great mod, and wonderul bang for the buck!!! |

Congrats on your procede.
When I read all of these procede reviews I always wonder what the person was driving before the 335 when they call it a rocket ship. Since you had an M3 I can understand where your coming from.

How can you possibly understand when, according to your sig, you don't even have a 335i or m3? LOL.

Well believe it or not, there's a car or two that are faster than a PROcede 335i . He has/had a pretty modded S2k from what I've heard.

I can understand because I have an E92 335 on order for the past three months and I have test driven it and in stock form it doesn't feel fast at all unlike the 10,000 posts a day I read on here about how it feels like a rocket in stock form. My cousin had an M3 and I drove it a few times (and also raced it a few times) and that also felt on the slow side compared to my last car so when someone with an M3 says that a procede 335 feels quick, but not a rocket ship I can take that as a much more accurate statement then everyone else who just says "OMG my Procede 335i is INSANELY fast, I can race Nasa space shuttles now" . All I was saying was that he had a quick car before so its not like someone else that came from a 325 and thinks that the 335 is fast to begin with. Do I meet your qualifications now for posting without having my cars in my signature?

You might be bleeding boost. looking at your sig, it looks like you have a blow off valve. I would take your car to a dyno to confirm the power gains, Walkedu started a thread on this. I am no blow off valve guru, but it apeared as if his was causing him to lose power. just a suggestion? |

You got it RiXst3r... I have a 6MT.
anidjare, its probobly fine. The car is quick as balls, but its just no super car, but I certainly didnt expect it to be. Also, wasnt the boost isue with the DYI blow-off valve? Maybe I am confusing threads. The car will get dyno'd eventually. I tend to procrastinate with this car, which isnt good. Shoot, it hasnt even had an alignment yet after lowering it. Gotta do that too. |

The install was cake...the only hard part was taking off the microfilter cover and ECU cover...if u dont do it right u can snap the black pieces on the side...
I am willing to bet i can install it faster than Shiv's mom..
