Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Ya,
    it just comes naturally to them.
    Did you have any sneaky peep at their turbo BMW they are working on?

    Did you get a BT module after? I upgraded my swing radio for the Bolero and I'm on the lookout for the oem bt which I think I'll put in myself. It doesn't look too difficult. Getting the mic into the interior light looks to be the most challenging part.

    Not yet.I have a parrot CK3100 right now , but its on my list alright. In fact , after the tyres, its pretty much just the BT kit and new speakers.

    I think the cable run will be easier than it looks.

    I can vouch for them and their work from having work done by them.

    Had the e60 done by them
    dpf delete
    egr delete
    Swirl flap removal.

    Remap

    153 bhp > 196.6

    240 lbft torque ( I think ) to 300.

    That car was transformed.
    Much better fuel economy as well.

    thanks vectra - would you know how long it might take to remove the dpf and remap it.

    also just as a general question is there much of a change of wrecking the turbo or the new clutch I put in with the increased power etc?

    The thing is about these lads is they do not remap for all out power.
    They will take it to a safe level which will still be a big increase for you.
    As for the turbo. It should not wear out any faster than n normal car.
    Except that you drive it like a hooligan continuisly.

    Will it wear out your new clutch?
    Not unless you drive it as above.
    You will not need to use the power so much in lower gears so this will result in less pressure on the clutch.
