I stand on my words and here's the link http://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w2...2hp-321tq.html (No longer works since he decided to report it and have the moderators close it)
What's wrong with giving back to the forum of the car I use to own? Whats wrong with sharing information they might not know of? There are plenty of people on this board who share info with me. I was going to do the mistake of going with another tune, but my perfectionism made me delay the buy and found aFe scorcher but then found what made more, and the folks who have Racechip are all truly honest and great people.
Stop thread jacking please thats why moderators are deleting your post.
Thanks for stalking me btw

If someone really wants emperial data, feel free to go out and purchase a box of your choice and do a factory baseline and a dyno run with the device to see what difference it makes for you. It has taken me more than a few efforts to finally find a device that is giving me what I want out of the M235i. I'm truly happy and done looking.

thank you for all your effort and time on what you have done reviewing, testing on the different tunes!

I never tried any other tune but I've tested the RC against 35i (N55) stock w/ K&N dropin and 28i Dinan stage1 =D it is much success (borat's voice) very niceeeeeee!

If anyone here has Android and wants to use Torque Pro (app) let me know I can PM you the details, it is great in data logging (WHP, WTQ, Ambient Air, Intake Manifold Pressure, Turbo Boost, 0-60 etc) . I use it with OBDLINK Lx which is the Scantool (Bluetooth) and works great.
I also use Dash Command but it reads higher which we can assume like crank numbers.

Run in B mode then switched to D mode. Felt a difference in the D mode that was stronger right off idle and harder shifts in Auto Sport mode.

To some the warranty is worth it and to others it is not. Just don't think you can have power gains with no warranty and then get BMW to cover you if you blow something up because that's illegal and immoral, and you probably would not get away with it anyway.

I did find an interesting post under your name on another forum and I think it sheds some bright light on to this discussion. You are pushing this RC system in exchange for sales commissions. See below. Maybe the moderators should be deleting your posts instead of mine.

I've kept 2 screws lately since I'm going to Dynojet in 2 weeks and been playing with my OBD2 apps datalogging each setting =)
Went back down to stock setting today and going to bump up 1 at a time and continue data logging

Quick question -

Have you found throttle response to be even better than standard with RC ?

With my S1 my throttle response in sport mode is v good !

Works for the N20, unsure about the N55

Is it safe to say that stage 1 tunes basically only add boost (some being adjustable) and that the more advanced stage 2 tunes also influence other parameters (some tunes being more customizable than others)?

Given that the stage 1 tunes only modify the signal from the MAP sensor, would the way (RPM, gear, etc.) in which these tunes modulate the signal sent to the ECU be significant, or do they just trick the ECU into seeing boost that is lower by a fixed amount across the board?

If one adjusted the different stage 1 tunes to the same boost and compared them, would they perform differently or would they be exactly the same?

Thanks man, that's the dilemma we N55 owners have, if it fits or not... I'm still waiting for a fellow owner to try and let us know

Petrol engines are not suppose to touch S1, only S2..
Someone tested S1 and made no difference since its dedicated for Diesel engines.
What are your settings currently?

Yes the resellers who load the software on these piggybacks can program them as they wish. Some tuners prefer less boost and others prefer more. Higher boost levels can trigger hidden air mass tuner detection codes. Some tuners also have an agenda for example I suspect BMS makes theirs more mild to encourage their customers to buy their more expensive JB4 device while AFE only sells one device and sets it stronger so customers feel it's making a big difference. This RC box is a universal system with a dial and they market it for every turbo car under the sun.

Bought it for my 2014 M235i (N55) and installed it a week ago. It fits but you do have to work with it to get it back in there. It's like a puzzles and there is only one way it will go. Once you snake it back in it works perfectly. The only hitch is that the hole in the air scoop does not line up with the hole on the frame so it is not bolted in but it doesn't need it to stay put. It is totally secured when you reattach the grid piece after the scoop is in place. Be sure to get the rubber piece locked in all the way around the grid.

Nice, could you share some pics on how it looks?

You are echoing many of my thoughts....

Started up the car and took it for my usually 1 1/2 mile loop test around the neighborhood......

How exactly doses this reset plug work? Is it a quick way to bypass the RC?

I'm looking for a tune for my completely stock car (motorwise that is) that I can use on the track, and easily bypass for the street.

If the RC turns out to have at least as much power as say the afeScorcher, and is quickly bypassable, I'm in.

I'm therefore impatiently waiting for more impartial feedback on it's performance.

Have comments on the RC all dried up?

No new experiences?

Can it be bypassed without removing it?

I think so... you just plug a little connector that bypasses the tune

With only two plugs I imagine any of these can be installed and removed in under sixty seconds.

Too true ~! Agree

Would need to confirm with RaceChip tech. support if the bypass plug can be left in so you are running the car in stock mode. The instructions only mention using the bypass plug as a reset device to use before removing from the car. Could be a electronic reset for the cables before plugging the factory cables back in.

the plug just closes the circuit so the signal goes unmodified to the ECU between the stock out connector and the rc in connector....

basically you disconnect the rc box and connect the plug which just connects the 2 wires... making it just a longer wire from the sensor to the ECU.... nothing else...
