Steve Q Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 馃檪聽 I agree with Steve on getting a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. There's no point tuning a poorly car.聽 Dark side developments, thanos tuning and Revo are all supposed to be good. What ever tuner you use though make sure they have a rolling road for best results with any remap. You can also combine it with a stainless steel exhaust I can give positive feedback of powerflow. As well as having an upgraded panel air filter or induction kit.聽 You could also look at an upgraded intercooler or turbo if you're considering serious power.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton8 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi Mark I had this on a BMW 6 series I owned. I had recently changed the oil and cross threaded the oil cap. Therefore the engine was trying to breathe though it. The diagnostic check showed an air mass problem, but luckily problem spotted by mechanic before money changed hands.

It'll have to be coded to the car too.聽 Definitely a job for a professional. I know other members have use autologics for retrofits and have nothing but praise for them.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
