Hey guys,
I've been offshore for the past 6weeks and finally got in this morning, So 1st thing I go ahead and update my X4 and transfer the new V6 tunes over so I can load Em up and see how they are.I've been running the original performance tune from PIP and other than shift flares every now and then on a WOT run, I really liked the tune.So I load up the new V6 Performance tune and 1st thing I notice is the lack of power till its warmed up.I expected that from the posts I've seen and it's not that big of a deal to me as I never go over a 1/4 throttle till its fully warmed up anyways.Performance wise Id say that the old tunes were peppier IMO.The other thing I've noticed is the difference in smoke output.The old performance tune had a little bit nothing to crazy, But the V6 performance tunes smokes quite a bit and I'm not really liking that.Now keep in mind that I haven't put very many miles on the new tune and it may get better with time, But from what I've seen so far in my test drive, I do believe I'll be flashing back the old tune.I have mike my opinions on the new tune and he told me to make sure that I've got all 3 plugs on the EGR unplugged if it's still on the truck as that will cause some weird things to happen.Im not sure what it will do tho so I can't comment on that.He also said that he has some new tunes that he is finalizing before he sends out, So maybe that will address everything I've seen as well.
I've talked to someone else on the phone just to see if they noticed what I did, And they came to the same conclusion as me.Im gonna put some more miles on it tho and see if anything changes before I flash it back to the old tune!
You guys that have went to the V6 PIP tunes, How are you liking them compared to the older tunes?
