I still couldn't see where that "A" connected to.
I don't work for RaceChip, I just a reseller who work closely with them.
So much I can do if you don't purchase from me, I can't tell them to hurry or anything since I don't have access to your account.

Just keep in mind that there are many sensors in the car that BMW uses same kind of connector and at same area.

I've seen guys plugging it to secondary O2 sensors since it is also a same 4 pin connector as the MAP or Boost sensor.
It's the one on the bottom very hard to reach, we stayed like 30-40 doing that one, that one right

I only can assume that you got it right.
But, without visual confirmation, I only can assume.

If that is right, you are at a mercy of RaceChip Germany.

Has Race Chip commented on any of the issues that members have been having including the car that had the grinding sounds?

That's why I am here helping as much as I can.

I dont get it. These cars are pulling not that long ago supercar numbers and people still tune? 99% of us can't even control the power the car comes with...lol. Im so over tuning. No need anymore IMO.

Is it possible to get a custom map that has stock numbers on 1st and 2nd gear, but then ramps up performance starting in 3rd? That way the RWD could still catch on a launch but get better 1/2 mile numbers. I agree with you that we are almost getting into a detrimental effect with some tunes

This type of tune should be much more common for RWD cars than it is.

I remember reading some of the F cars with the bigger turbos messing with the Boost by gear. It's a Total must for RWD and higher power!

Absolutely. Bootmod3 has had that feature for a long time for F8x cars and works very well. We just need the damn ECU cracked so those of us that want to tune can get it.

Whatever happened to the OP sucks--- hope he gets resolution. I hate dealing with retailers who are not local or in this case are overseas. I almost always would consider paying more for that local support. Now if the OP bought it from a local retailer, they need to step the fuck up and help or just refund. I have tuned well over 40 cars in my life and not once did I buy a piggy, dme, ecu, etc tune from someone who was not local or did not build the tune themselves from a generic file of course.

But Ill chime in as a very very happy RC customer for over 3 years with 3 different M's and running map 7 on two now. I dont get the RC for free or even a discount but I did get it from a local retailer and installer so any issues (none so far) can be resolved with him.

Bad news travels 4x's or more as fast as no one really jumps in to brag about great results. There are many RC users in the F90-F93 world that are happy.

Again best of luck to Hadib233.

It is commendable that Ben aka r33_RGSport who didnt sell this product to Hadib233 still comes here to help. This is why he gets my business on M cars.

U had the custom map tho. The other guys are running the racechip factory map. Im curious as to what as recalibrated after it was fitted on your car. It may be the key to solving this whole rigamarole

I dont thats the case--- I was the crash test dummy that got the 91 map in US going but its not custom- its cookie cutter.
