Software upgrades are alright but if they 'flash' the ECU, then the chances are, you will lose your new mapping..... But when the British buggers return, they will/should install the maps for free...... Edlee, comment please......

greg,
for the mac mini install you need the following.
1.The web site is mp3car.com. the power convertor, part nos is CNX-1900 which is US$99.95 , you must add in the mAC power option which is about US$5.56. This option would enable you to tie the front power switch of your mac-mini to this power supply so that your PC would go to sleep when your ignition key is off and wake up when you start your car
2.video interface herad theres a newrer one.and an video out connector from your mac to interface.
3. call ah boa for install.pm you his hp.
4.ask lmk.
guys please chip in any info for him.

Adrian,
Might help that Ed's car is a solid roof one and his engine has been "runned-in" properly..... Yours on the other hand sits at home looking nice..... engine might not have been 'runned-in" properly.....
If you need any help running that beast in, let me know...... hehehe.....

Thats their promise, but since your car will be in next week, no point risking the loss. May as well wait for his next visit and who knows; he may have tweaked a few more horses into the remap?
Maybe we can takan him tomorrow.....
What say you guys????

My ride is up for its first servicing next week..... One of my gripe with PML is the AUX Interface. I lost CD function after installing AUX. So I hope to get them to get things rite. Problem is, they will need to flash the software to get this done rite? So if I do the DMS, all will be lost rite?

Maybe we can takan him tomorrow.....

how many quids does rob charge for the 23's? the power gain commensurate with the dough he charges. 900 quids should be full fledge. he charged e90 330i at 400 quids so as expected not much gain can be felt on those 3 liter valvetronics.
They claim that my 525 is more powerful than the M54 3 litre (stock) unit and a 'near' match for the N52 one..... go figure....
I am planning to dyno my car tomorrow to check my bhp..... anything above 235, I will be happy.... anything above 240, I will be happier.....
anything below 230, tio-pak tomorrow evening........
