Recent Mods

Hi all! Been an R60 owner (2012 CMS All4) and forum reader since 2015, but I just officially registered and this is my first post. Recently purchased some upgrades and finally installed them: NM Module, Sprint Booster, aFe drop-in replacement air filter. Module is set to high and I exclusively run 93 octane (I've never run less than 91 since owning the car at 11K miles). Definitely noticeable power increases...but I get a hesitation or "bucking" during acceleration since putting in the NM. I've been running the replacement filter prior to the other mods and never had an issue. Would upgrading to a higher flow 360 degree filter help with this?

Awesome, first post and everyone left you hanging. Welcome! Now to the issue....did you ever solve it? I have seen some other threads with the same type of issue with the NM Module. If I recall correctly, it has something to do with the high setting. Try adjusting it to the lower setting and see if that cures it. Good luck

Have you tried taking out the NM Module and going for a test drive?

A different intake/360 filter wont help much, if at all. The stock box actually flows quite a bit of air, more than what most people will need. Plus it keeps it as true to a cold air intake as possible.

This is absolutely true! I had a cone filter on my intake and made my intake air temps at least ten degrees hotter than with the factory airbox. I switched back. It’s quieter, and I do love the turbo sounds, but between the intake temp and the fact that the DV+ is super quiet too, there was just no logical reasons to keep it that way. Save the $ from an intake and put it towards an ECU tune or something else that will provide an actual real improvement.
