You will have to get past the N26's self-imposed restrictions if you want to jury rig something like a Dinan S4 Big Turbo tune designed for the N20. Dinan will wink and tell you it's possible but I wonder if they would allow their vendors to do this to your N26.
Oh wow thanks your like a bank of knowledge thank you very much really quick so because I have xdrive I can't do anything with the suspension ???
Well I don't think the Dinan performance suspension is offered for 4WD but I cannot speak for other products. I have to say, I am not optimistic. If you really want to tune your car very aggressively, I am afraid you have the wrong platform. I am very happy with the mods I've done on my N26, which now has all the performance I need for the street but I have to say -- sorry -- that the performance suspension is the most radical and transformative mod I've done and the one I appreciate the most, as much as the tune. At least you can still do a N26 Stage 1 tune, which is well worth it. The Dinan tune is very high quality and the way it tweaks boost values is really effective.
thank and yeah I didn't know at the time there ordered my car that's they switch from n20 to n26 but that's life
