Hey!

Yeah, now that you mention it I recall reading the BMS intake having a negative effect on things - according some, does sound good tho' I know that you are quite knowledgeable on this tuning and have tried a few things yourself. Any recommendations on how to approach this? A real dyno would be better I know, but I am pretty impressed with PerfExpert.

I remember you sending your ECU over for a flash? What happened?

There is only one contact from these forums I really talk to daily about tuning !! He is testing the ECU flash for us both atm !! I never actually sent my DME over, Im waiting for his feedback before proceeding to the next level.... we have almost the identical mods !! The stock intake is fine truly it is !! Remember once you install the tuning hardware drive around for 50+ KM so the DME adapts .... a lot of people on the dyno do a run stock then install the box then do another run straight away, its doesnt work like that , you must give the DME time to adapt first ... then do a run .
That little app looks great but if you want a device that is accredited in the tuning industry grab a Vbox !! That said that little app should and will be able to tell you any noticeable gains on the tuning hardware you have chosen.

You have my email for additional hangout chats ... cheers mate
