I've put a little over 3K on the stage 1 tune at this point and have had absolutely zero issues and loving every minute of it. The sluggishness of 1st and 2nd gear is now completely minimized (why i felt the need to get a tune right out of the gate). Although I only had the truck a few weeks before getting this done the difference in overall feel was immediately apparent. Felt like the truck was operating on a whole different power band.

On top of that, mpg slightly improved even with much more aggressive driving. Since, Ive gone through around 6 tanks the mileage has consistently been between 535-560 miles to 20.5-21.5g. Got to love that! I am now on a mission to get as much performance out of this as possible, the 35d is a real sleeper! Next comes the deletes and ditching the rft's to get the rotational weight down.

Kirk is also a great guy to deal with. I drove down from Northern CA and was back home by 7pm same day, would highly recommend.

Bawareca pm sent.

I am one of the beta testers with the X5 35d. Bawareca, is the tune on mine considered Stage 2? I have to say the power delivery is extremely smooth. I have done roughly two tankfuls of diesel since getting the DDE back and I am impressed with this progress.

I am averaging an indicated 21.8 mpg mixed driving. My first tankful, with a lot of throttle stomps, I got 20.5. I see the looks on the faces of many fellow "test track" motorists and it is priceless. Recent victims have been a G35 sedan and I seem to be getting the attention of various trucks. I made a Tahoe very disgruntled in my testing earlier today. It's very funny because I have a rooftop cargo carrier on and the X5 looks so completely pedestrian.

Definitely need to meet up once I get my vacuum hoses replaced.

Just hit me up when you're ready. Stage 2 will make you jealous ;)

Hey Kiril, hope everything is well! Any update on progress of stage 2? I now have over 10K on stage 1 and want to take it to the next level. Any meth/h20 experimentation yet?

bawareca 05-12-2016 09:51 PM

I am glad you enjoy the improved experience.
Looks like the hardware side of the Stage 2 is a no go. It will take too much time and funds to order a full kit, with unclear view of the potential profits.
We offer Stage 1&2 tunes only, which I believe is the only offering without hardware package.

Socale39 05-12-2016 10:55 PM

So are you stating that stage 2 tune would require hardware from another supplier or can we run the tube by itself?

bawareca 05-13-2016 12:54 AM

Stage 2 will clog the DPF pretty quickly, so it is not worth to install on a stock car. We will not offer any hardware for a while.
