Does the procede chip cause problems?

jesdan14 · 01-06-2009, 08:28 PM

I bought the Active auto werke software chip a few weeks ago, Its nice but it only got me up to 320 horse power to the wheel, I want more. I asked around over at active auto werke and they told me that the procede works good, but causes a lot of warning lights to come up and can also blow the turbos after a few time running them like a year later they said, the turbos will be no good. Don't know if there telling the truth but I don't want any problems like that. I want to go faster but if I will have headaches with the procede in the long wrong then I'll live with what I got.

I just want to see what people that have it have to say if they are having any problems.

Consider the source (a competitor)... they are just trying to scare you away from switching to a better tune.

It doesn't cause those problems... it has the most saftey features of any tune on the market to protect your engine. It comes pre-configured defualt to run conservitive boost levels, and you can configure the user tourque values to raise or lower your power levels if you decide to go for max power...

Get it. You'll be fine. PM Rixster to see if you can get in on the group buy.

Yes, there are problems.
-Tires are worn out way too fast.
-The BMW lag that I like so much

is gone.
-The rattling paint cans (wastegate noise) that let everyone know I'm coming 2 blocks away are gone.
-It' hard to stay under the legal speed limits.
-2nd gear causes severe neck pain.

Need I go on....

Sniz · 01-06-2009, 09:27 PM

Rick, you should sell the V3 w a V1 (Valentine One) as a package deal, your customers will need them.

Seriously.

You can add

- You'll end up spending way too much time on e90post.com
- You will find yourself driving at random times way way out of the way just for the hell out of it
- You can't wait for Shiv's newest map....its an addiction
- Etc

From what I hear, it can cause major traction problems

tek818 · 01-06-2009, 09:55 PM

pure comedy... It's amazing how badly AA dropped the ball TWICE on tuning the N54 platform, then has the nerve to talk trash about the market innovator.

this is very true....very true.

dtg · 01-06-2009, 10:00 PM

Why don't you ask AA (Omar or Carl) how many cars they've blown up over the years!!! From turbocharging the E36 to supercharging the E46... they have a long history of blowing engines and yes customer engines.

They are now great at what they do but they didn't get there without any cost!

I believe that both tunes out there (PROcede and JB3) are good tunes and both tuners have taken enough steps to ensure reliability and safety.

You'll be fine without AA... trust me.
