i got that. However I'm running e50 with no issues on another note you shouldn't run any mixture of e85 without proper tuning. If you don't have the correct ignition then yeah your plugs will eventually go bye bye.
I warned you of using e85 in the past. The only reason I'm using ethanol is because tony provided me with more ignition timing than everyone else. No hard feelings to the majority but more or less a test. That's why I initially brought up personally using ethanol but you guys wanted to jump on the band wagon without the proper tuning measures. Unfortunately it looks like you had to pay the price.
I've further invested pursuing using e85 with my other tuner and have come to the conslusion that e50 given a proper tune works well
i dont remember if you warned me or not. i think is just not very intelligent to stack a piggyback and a tune just by common sense even with more timing not knowing if your fuel system can manage that type of fuel in the short-midterm.
who is the other tuner that told you that e50 works well? . i think before getting to conclusions we need proof and like you said yourself we need to see how far this platform goes so i think its only wise to have proof every time that you claim something like when OV tuning said those crazy good numbers and we never got proof of it.
On the other hand Tony says its not safe too.
this has nothing to do with the tread but I got this app called TORQUE PRO that with a simple adapter you can monitor all of the sensors of your car and i think you even can log some information. really cool stuff!
Pink = target boost
Blue = actual boost
Black = ecu boost signal
REFLASH ONLY
REFLASH WITH BMS
As you see it lowers the ecu boost signal in return it compensates and raises a higher target boost while raising actual boost. Its probably dangerous however what tune isn't. I can safely say a reflash is much better than only a powerbox.
Using a piggyback on top of a re-flash is every-day stuff over in the N54 world--the godfather of tuned modern boosted engines. But I think that's cause BMW DMEs (ECUs in jdm land) are extremely fast and can compensate on the fly. From what I remember, consensus is that it's the best of both worlds. It may depend on this specific application.
So do I have to have any aftermarket parts to do stage 2 tune? If everything else is stock, do I have to do stage 1 or can I do stage 2?
Stage 1 is designed for the stock motor.
Stage 2 requires an upgraded down-pipe and intake (either a panel filter or full intake system) to allow the turbo to breathe better.

Can the stage 2 package perform a stage 1 tune? I don't want to pay $1000 to do a stage 1 and then pay another $1200 just to upgrade to stage 2 later on.

No I'm pretty sure if you want to upgrade you'll just have to pay the extra amount above and beyond what stage one costs

IS200TFOWL is correct. If you want to get the Stage 1 and then eventually upgrade to Stage 2 that is perfectly fine! The tools are the same it’s only the actual tuned file is what differs between them and there would be a fee to change that file.
Hey Guys!

Ok guys so yesterday i installed the Charge pipe Blow off valve spacer and turbo muffler delete from TTI. Fairly easy to install the quality of the parts are really good. Engine sounds better and the blow off noise its amazing its loud! you can hear the turbo spooling.
But i think the best thing about it its how much faster the turbo spools that its noticeable like right a way i was driving stepped on it and the spool was quick so much that i gas it again just to check it out.
Here a few pictures of the installation process and a video that btw makes no justice! i'm gonna do a proper video from the outside with different revs so you guys car listen to it.
stock stock turbo muffler and charge pipe VALVE how it looks with the spacer on how it looks from the top from the top left side charge pipe installed
like i said clip makes no justice posting one proper soon everything together
on another note you shouldn't run any mixture of e85 without proper tuning. If you don't have the correct ignition then yeah your plugs will eventually go bye bye.
