Per your mods you were also running a turbo upgrade? But still only on Map 1?

So essentially you blew your motor running JB4 Map 1? Or are you in fact running a bigger turbo and more modified setup?

Lets first wait to see what caused the motor failure before pointing fingers. Remember that sometimes engines fail when car is completely stock

Yeah I am not pointing fingers at anyone. I just wanted to write up a thread so if others run into a scenario like mine they'll know what to expect.

None of that tells us they 'detected' a tune.. all of those remarks are VISUAL.

It says aftermarket downpipe and turbo caused more boost, does not say anything about the tune. If anything this proves that even in the worst case scenario the JB4 is undetectable. Waiting for the explanation though.

OP said that dealership detected the Jb4 but the report does not mention this. The car has a bad engine, the JB4 was removed. From the report it sounds that the dealership could not detect the JB4 has ever been installed on this car. Is this correct?

edit: nm my previous N55 comment, OP has an N20.. I was glossing over the fact the OP billed his car as an M235i 'killer' which means he was pushing the 228i/N20 wayyy past it's rater power. HOWEVER, OP also says it happened while running Map 1? On an aftermarket turbo... there you go, again that just points to tuning issues/user mistake.

I do.
But the dealership does not mention anything about a tune in its report.
