Advice required please re mapping / chipping

[cam3048]

Hi All,

I've got a 435d and shes amazing. I'm considering mapping her, however, I have seen this advert on FB to have a chip which they state installs a new map.

I'm a bit concerend about using chips because I thought that all they do is just boost more fuel to the engine to increase the power. But this guy assures me that the chip installed puts a whole new map on...

I asked the following questions:-

Hi, I have the BMW 435d I'm considering getting it remapped. This looks like an engine chip which boost fuel through the car, am I correct or does this install a new map on the engine? Also what kind of figures would I be looking at after installation? Can you also advise if this is a chip rather than a remap what the overall difference would be? Thanks

This was the response:-

this is a tuning box which dose the same job as a remap, our development car is a 435d and we are having amazing results with that car, also this system is totally ecu and warranty safe meaning your car staying in complete control. We adjust through the fuel sensor, boost sensor and rpm control the same as a remap would, we increase the bhp to 377bhp and torque to 731nm ,


Im not sure if I'm allowed to attach the link to the product or not but the FB page is TDI Tuning and they state they have different ones for different cars.

I'm not too bothered about paying a little extra if having a map is the way forward I just dont want to screw up the car messing with it lol.

Thanks in advance.

For the money thats costing, I would pay a little more and get a rolling road map done. Generic maps adjusted for YOUR car . You get to decide how you want it to be .

Don'tforget that you are likely to invalidate any warranty (you don't say how old the car is) as no map is totally undetectable as many say they are.

I would steer well away from that company........it has been said many times that 515lb of Torque is the max threshold that gearbox can safely take ,,they want to take yours to about 539lb

They do say that its totally undetectable the map.

The cars is a 64 plate so a few more months and warranty is up, I think I'll wait till then and get E-maps on the case.

Thank you for your advise everyone
