Tune options glossary

Tune options – These configurable options allow customization of the tune package to your specific needs. Options availabity are specific to each engine.

Extra Map(s) – An extra map is a additionnal tune file you can get with different option(s) from the main tune file you buy (ex: with cold start delete or with burbles).

Linear Throttle Response – Many models suffers from laggy throttle response. We refine it in a more linear way.

Burbles, Crackles and Pops – This option, provides audible pops and crackles at engine deceleration. The acoustic power is heavily dependent on the installed exhaust. In some cases this can be harmful to the engine and or catalytic converters. Catless headers or downpipes are higly recommended.

Alpha-N – This option removes the MAF from the operating calculations. In general is used with intake stacks or intake boxes. In some cases it can provide higher performance but in general this should only be selected when absolutely necessary as it can exhibit rough running conditions in situations where the ecu doesn’t have enough information to perform better.  

EWS Delete – EWS is the BMW anti-thieft system. Disabling it is usefull on engine swaps where you want your wiring to be as lean as possible. This can also be used as a easy DME replacement method.

Cold Start Delete – When starting the engine under cold conditions, the heating cycle (cold start) is activated for few seconds where the engine revs higher making it a bit louder. On cars with high flow exhaust systems, this can get very loud. So if that's your case and have non-petrolhead neighbors, this option could be for you.

Rev Limiter Adjustment – Select this option if you are looking to have us move the rev limit up.

SAP Delete – Select this option if you removed the SAP (Secondary Air Pump). This will remove the check engine lights but will invalidate your emissions readiness.

Top Speed Limiter Delete – Speed governor (limiter) is disabled.
