X5 Diesel Tune (boost controller)
 

anyone interest doing this?





any thoughts?

:bustingup

Lots of people have done this, a quick search should tell you all you need to know.

same exactly unit in play? I'm seeking opinions and takes, i want to hear some pros and cons with people whom installed them.

most importantly, I'm fairly savvy about tuning, had a few track cars and motorcycle under my belt, not to blow my own horn with that statement.

But, I'm better asking people on here to get some feedback, if any one care to chime in, that would be great!

thanks again!;)

Yes lots of people on here use that exact same unit, It works people are happy with it.

If you try a quick search you will find tons of threads on how it works and owners reviews on it.

interesting...

seriously...can't find anything with "JBD" unit...

:dunno:

now...thats a big help...

strange, I used JBD at search, didn't work at all...hmmm..

anyhow...going to read that thread now..

thanks again!

I added a few more links, I have an actual tune so I can't comment on the JBD but if you are under warranty I would go that route it would be easy to just pull it out before visiting the dealership. I read about it after i had my tune and it seemed like a great option but I got my tune the same day as I got the truck so it was too late.

that was the idea i had in mind as well, easy access for dealership visiting

I got caught with my tune in, they couldn't tell until they test drove it and they said it was the fastest non-M X5 they had seen so they said it had a "chip" I just played dumb and they still fixed my truck under warranty....but said they wouldn't do it again unless my chip was removed....:rolleyes:

LOL....

the last link, literally beating the dead horse...lol

Pray that something totally unrelated to the tune doesnt break...
:yikes:

That tune is impossible to remove and leave no trace...

Interesting comment from the dealer. What was wrong with your car?

Shoot, i woulda been like why the F were you flooring my car and driving my car so hard?!?!?!?!?

I'm sure that would have worked out well for you. Like they'd document their suspicion in the BMW repair order.

Really then why couldnt they see it at all :dunno: It had been in for warranty work before and I had it removed before hand and they never noticed. I just got lazy and left it in this time knowing they couldnt see it. I just didnt know they would take it for a test drive and beat on it, under normal driving you cant tell the difference.

Something with the cats or DPF I have the work order but I havent read it I know they replaced the DPF and possibly the cats.

In Canada they can deny your warranty claim if you have any mods at all...and I just got caught with a tune in my truck. I wasnt arguing or addmitting to anything. I played dumb and acted concerned and thankful.
