The instructions on the handheld device are very clear and simple.
You will see alot of warnings on the dash when you are flashing it. Don't worry too much, you will be fine.
mmmm yea, it can be scary when you see all sorts of warnings pop up during the flash , I keep sweating when I am flashing .

I drove it for around 90 KM then the Check Engine Light pop up,code: ( P0068 MAP/MAF-Throttle Position Correlation ) car runs fine, I use the GoPoint BT1 with my iphone app to reset the code , then it never pops up again for around 1000 km of spirited driving. Car works perfectly but I just need to know the power numbers from the dyno.
What does the butt dyno say?

Check her out. Taking her home shortly and throwing on tune. So far she has the FVD Headers, Valveless exhaust, and the upgraded Plenum/TB.

They were revving her before putting on the engine cover and 8 people were around her. The Car sounds like a beast.

So - I asked them about the the higher wing extensions. They said as long as the angle of the wing does not change it should not upset the balance of the car but possible slightly add some down force; but very little so mostly for looks.

Yes - I saw the silver Cayman rs - Talk about a car set up for the track - It also sounded great when the fired her up to bring back to their work station. Once they were done with mine Bill had them pull yours' in

I have a sound clip of my car but the file is to big to post here which i do not understand because it is only 10 seconds long

Hi guys back from the dyno, It says 368ps and 368.9Nm on the wheels.
It is on 98ron unleaded petrol. With 15% drive train loss, it is around 420ps on crank which is spot on to the FVD claim. I am glad with the results of the ecu tune. together with IPD plenum, 82mm throttle body and Fabspeed sport header with 200cell sport cats.

There were 3 runs on the dyno, first one shows 354 ps, then with sport button on, ti shots up to 363 ps then 3rd run shows 368ps.
Maybe the sport button switch on the third radiator hence cooler engine bigger power.

I aslo observed that all the turbo cars from my mates drop ps reading after each run.
For reference, my mate's BMW M4, stock engine pulls 445ps on the first run. which is simply amazing!
















Stock BMW M4 Dyno result
Since most BMW with turbo engines now show accurate power figure as factory power claims on wheels, we can safely assume that the dyno is accurate.
BMW claims 56.1kgm for BMW M4 and it shows 56.2kgm on dyno.
the same dyno also shows similar results as BMW claims for the 328i and 335i .

Very sorry but we have no plans for a Black Friday sale for the 981 models currently. The best current pricing is via a Rennlist promo code which we offer year round. Simply send me a private message and I will reply with the code.
