"Vitalen" Chiptuning06 Max Performance Box System

Guys, I've just found this:

Chiptuning Max for BMW F22 M235i 320 hp Performance box:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=301282920601

It claims a gain to 356HP and 372lb-ft

Should we call BS on this one? The description is very detailed but I really don't know what to think. Comments?

I did a search within the forum and found no results, so I decided to post this.

Really?? Nobody was even a little bit curious about this? LOL

Anyway, in case somebody could be interested, I emailed those guys (they are based in Turkey) to ask questions and they replied back with the full instruction installation manual and some specs of what this little box do.

Here it is bmw_M235i_3.0_326_e.pdf

Your comments? Anyone?

Taking a breif look at the install guide this box connects to the same sensors as my racing dynamics r35s(claimed 401hp, and requires downpipe, upgraded fmic, and 100ron fuel). I am super happy with my rd, this could be legit, but why not just go with the proven jb4 if you are only after 356hp?

I appreciate each of your comments guys. Thing is that I "think", if I'm not wrong that the JB4 is set for the USA spec M235i, the one that comes with 320HP. Here we get the Europe spec with 326HP and I was told that I have to be careful with ECU tuning if the program is not Euro spec. That's why I got interested on this one. Cheers

It connects to the TMAP & MAP sensors to alter boost, has no CANbus access. It's just another overpriced non-adjustable version of the BMS Stage1.
