Sports displays and tuning box
I've purchased a tuning box for my 218d that claims a power increase up to 190hp.
I've taken it for a few runs and used the sports displays to see the increase. However it doesn't seem to go above the stock 150hp/240lb/ft Is this because the displays won't register the increase or because the box is doing nothing?! It does feel like better throttle response but I'm paranoid this is just a placebo effect. |

Hmm I had heard that it might actually measure it correctly, but usually the tuner boxes are a piggyback system, so it wont register. I might be wrong, but people that got bench flashes, got increased power readouts from those sport screens.

This is deja vu. Could've sworn I answered this in another post.
Yeah, after install the JB in my wife X3, I was so excited to see it spew off bigger HP and TQ numbers. Max was still 240/260. Totally based on vacuum or some other readily available OBDII parameter. Disappointed since don't have this in the 335 or the 235. |

No tech. Sucks. Still can't play my iTunes in the car properly. That Y cable keeps creating static.

Apologies, I did a quick search but didn't really find an answer. Mine is a piggy back box so guessing that's why. As I said it did feel quicker as Comfort mode felt like Sport but was worried it was just in my head lol
