Custom/Cary Tune vs OTS

Hi all,

Over the summer in 2020 I finally upgrade the 2016 to a BM3 stage 2 tune with all necessary bolt ons. Includes charge pipe, intercooler, catless downpipe, cold air intake.

I'm running the OTS map from bootmod3.

I'm currently debating whether or not to do a custom tune from Cary Jordan but wanted to ask the way more knowledgeable community than myself if the gains are worth it. I wouldn't plan on doing anything else to the car such as upgraded turbo, fuel pump, gas, etc.

That all being said, is the custom tune for bootmod3 stage 2 from Cary Jordan worth the cost for the return on gains/performance than the OTS map? I'd appreciate the input.

Thanks in advance.

Stage 2 BM3 will be about 85% of the power as a custom tune for N55 ... I went from stage 2 to custom, for no real reason.... If you want to squeeze out every drop do it... if it's a daily stick with BM3 maps, considering your staying stock turbo, pump and fuel....

I recommend contacting them directly, they will tell you what kind of power they expect to extract with your setup
