It is the same $399 price. AA just did not bother to update the website.

What would happen if I were to disconnect the battery? Do I have anything to gain from it? Also I experienced an unusual phenomenon. Although I've had my AA TUNE for nearly a month, in the last week I noticed more torquiness and power in accelerating in the midrange.. Could it be the cold weather? Did my car take a month to "adapt, or am I imagining things?

DS Motorsport tuning is €1,800 (~ $2,500).
For software reflash and individual dyno tuning. Gain on my car was 49.4 hp and 26.9 FtLb.

The cold air will help a lot on a tuned car, cooler air "burns hotter" due to its density VS warm air. When its cold my car is a rocket, on the other hand when its over 100° i can feel the car not enjoying itself sometimes.

Ok then the obvious question is have you come up with a special intercooler for our N52 engines?

What's the easiest way for someone in Australia to get either of these tunes?
Vendor solicitation welcome. Also, do either of these provide throttle 'remapping'? Gavin, you mention in post #11 that you change throttle response, but is this the same as the BMS powerbox which 'remaps' the throttle with different settings? |

I know I am still working on my DIY mods and aftermarket bolt ons, but each day is closer to getting one of the ECU tunes than the day before
Here is my Q for all of you not just AA and OE. If I can get 98 or even 102 octane fuel, will the ECU tune take the advantage? If so how much more gain can I expect? Getting 98 fuel is not cheap, I just want to know if it will be worth the effort and cost. I am using 91 now just for reference. |
