Who in Colorado got the Procede FlexFuel?
Saw it on Shiv's post here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=744695 I'm really curious to see how well it works at higher altitude! For less than $2K, to get an extra 150+whp (at sea level) is amazing. -Rich |

And if I had read further, I would have answered my own question:

It also seems like the Procede is putting out more power than the Cobb from what I've seen (not trying to start a tuner debate - just stating what I've seen and I have zero dogs in this fight). -Rich |

I have been looking into this for a little bit. Eventually, once I get all the issues fixed, I want to try it out. My turbos are currently getting replaced. I hope all the issues will be gone then!

Well, they first only adjusted the wastegates, which I had to pay over $2000 for it. Then, after one day, the rattle came back. Now BMW is replacing the turbos under the extended warranty I'm getting my money back too

I figured I would give a late update. In about a month, I am returning to Colorado with the Flex Fuel tune. I have driven to Reno on about 1/3 tank of E85 and everything seemed to work just fine. I will give more butt dyno information once I get to Colorado. I do remember that things were definitely slower in the mountain passes, but mainly from a turbo lag standpoint.
I am keeping about 25% of the tank filled with 91 and the rest with E85. Cold engine performance is just kind of wonky on a complete tank of the stuff. That might improve with the new maps that, hopefully, will be coming out Once things are warm, this car just flies. |

Yes, you will also need an upgraded in tank fuel pump made by walbro($350 installed) all tunes are done by Jake at PTF. We run full E-85.
