I hope they make something like this... its like a JB light... $199. I asked Terry on the forums a while ago and he said they'd consider making it for our cars. it's like 3 wires and super duper easy plug and play. 5 second install. I think it would make something like 3 lbs instead of 4? I think you can dial it how you want it. But up to 3. only one parameter is changed i think its the manifold absolute pressure. nothing else. the computer would compensate for all other values. worth it to some maybe? I'm not super duper excited about going all out for a piggy back so far. Would still like someone to post videos of any IS200t with any tune or piggy back. Something =)

Like i was telling Nuke, BMS came out with this tune since November 2015. Their priority and money maker are on BMW products, so i feel as though there is no urgency on this piggyback plus they have been waiting for their supplier to provide connectors, motherboards etc. but they are behind schedule. I've been in touch with Terry since he announced it on instagram and i was lucky to obtain a prototype which i did testing on and gave my feedback. From testing other piggyback systems i still feel this is far superior than the others and i would highly recommend waiting on it.

oh yeah i knnow its all about the waiting game. my friend's 335i back in 2007 was the first prototype for the original juicebox--what was originally a rats nest of wires has now turned into a refined box. i remember back in the day how long it took to get to the production phase. and we used to test Terry's 135i at the track weekend after weekend at Famoso. Used to drag against my friend's 08 M3 when it first came out. That 135i was fast. I think he still has it lol. anyway this was many moons ago so I know he really tests his products before they start selling and i know he makes a great product. Just hard to wait.. oh well At least we get to see if your engine pops first =D Are you confident with it so far?

The two areas I would be concerned about (as with any stock car on a piggy back) are the cats from overheating and the charge pipe popping.
How does the off the line acceleration feel when you stomp from a dead stop? Just as stock but more powerful? No weird lumps? I was looking at your NX thread and appears the torque and power curves are pretty nice and consistent through out the range, especially vs Toms. Looks like BMS makes the same peak gains as TOMs, but longer on the short end.

Actually it is a lot safer than a reflash because it is still using the stock ECU tune to adjust the parameters. You are not going to overboost with the piggyback so the stock plumming is safe. The car acts normal in every aspect just with that extra power where you can definitely notice it. The great thing about the BMS is that you can buy the USB data cable and change the Maps for more boost if you eventually decide to install a downpipe or turboback exhaust.
Because am planning for DP and other things so if that's the case then BMS would be the best option for me
