Clearly, it produced so much more HP that he drove clean off the island, sad really.

Hey guys relax, I am going back tomorrow at 6pm.

The mini that is going to be tuned tomorrow the only mods that he have are Forge FMIC, 3'' exhaust home made(Stock Downpipe), Intake and I gave him the tube that goes from the turbo to the Fmic.

Last time he went to that same dyno he was around 178whp with the intake, fmic and the exhaust.

Last run 190 whp 230 tq.

They are still learning how to use the dimsport in our cars but it looks like it works.

What dyno was it, its reading low? SAE numbers, since they are lower?

You need to be near a tuner that has the Dimsport program. RMW was working on remote tunes using it, but not sure if that ever got going. Also, as of about a week ago, Jan told me that Dimsport wont release the software for the R56...so not sure about what Fern's tuner is using. Also, Fern says the Puerto Rican cars are US Spec, but Im not sure about that. If they are Euro spec, that would explain why they were about to tune it using Dimsport.

Fern give us more details!

Well I wonder if this is the same stuff Alta is working on because I heard they are trying to figure out another tuning solution.
