This is not a tuning, it's just a resistor soldering between the boost sensor and the ECU. ECU sees the readings from the sensor less than in fact, due to this, the boost is increased. At the same time, there is an incorrect calculation of the torque because understated readings of the boost, which makes other ECU calculations incorrect.

To say it's incorrect, technically is incorrect since the ecu knows how to compensate for the readings! Aka, no different than a JB4 BCM style fooler setup! Except racechip has made some serious backed numbers on other applications. Their advertising of numbers on the site seem to be backed by others experiences. |

I'll say this, they have some serious market share from what I've seen overseas and what they're putting into the units is fantastic build quality.
If I were you, watch some of the available content out on the internet. I personally wouldn't hesitate to run a GTS black at all.... I mean taking shaving 5/10s + of a second off a 0-60 is respectable. Remember their advertised #s are with factory equipment, and since you've already got yoir exhaust set up I'd bet you would be a happy man with the end result. I personally will run one when modding this x6m finally rolls around on the never-ending to do list! Being the tuner market for the s63 is slim to none, I personally don't see the point of trying to "set the bar" in regards to performance ability on this platform. Having the fastest..... Is cool and all, but I mean running high 10's/ low 11's and dumping stupid money to achieve basically very little just doesn't make sense to me. |

I've never seen a serious result on a dyno or better on a dragstrip by car with racechip. |

I put one in mine after I purchased the car ,on basic settings the car felt a touch better but nothing sensational ,as soon as I started playing around with the settings it did nothing except throwing the check engine light made the car completely unreliable . Save your money .I bit the bullet after I changed the downpipes and put new turbos on and had the ecu tuned
