I have to download a program to my laptop for that, right? How do I do all of that?

You need to buy the JB4 Upgrade Kit together with BMS data cable or JB4 Mobile Connect kit to connect to your existing Stage 1 via laptop or mobile.

You don’t need the JB4 to change boost levels. Just the data cable and a computer.

Once you download the JB4 application on your laptop, connect the data cable and you can adjust the boost settings (Boost safety/Boost failsafe) on the Stage 1 to 5 psi. The Stage 1 only has 1 map, so the boost adjustment has to be done under the user settings tab, Map 2 doesn't exist on the Stage 1.

Found this ecu company. Even at 15% drivetrain lose they’re still respectable numbers. @dimsport on IG

All of these other ecu tunes look pretty accurate too

Somehow the Rx pulled out more power than this 330i

This is the company RR Racing is supposed to be working with to create a device to tune the IS200t. So obviously they have a tuning solution if they're able to get that much horsepower out of the 2.0. Also, what is"P?" trying to find a way to convert that to horsepower is very hard. Unless that is what they're saying is the horsepower 318. Hopefully they are not hot tuning it to get the numbers and it's actually a reliable tune.

Hopefully RR Racing can finally release their tune once they are able to get a handheld unit (see below) to work.

They have the tune ecu flash but not the handleheld. They might be difficult to communicate with maybe it’s possible to get flashing tools from them. Dimecu/dimsport has many different vendor websites but www.kmdimecu.com looks to be the first to post for the 8arfts. The “p” looks like a typo for ps. If you check out their website their other tunes are advertised as ps. Worst case scenario they’re quoting it looks like 266whp

318ps is 313bhp which is 317whp. So 317 is an amazing number if not questionable on a stock turbo.
