let me know!
Not getting an NA as I have that but for reflashing to the supercharger flash and maybe any tweeks in the future I think being able to flash at home would be great.

i thought on page 8 there were ads showing that you were selling as a chip now?

cant believe i havent checked out this thread before now. just picked up a used Dinan chip that is en route.

Doubtful that i will do anythiing else for this m42, but when the ti eventually gets my 1992 m50 i'll see what you can do. Currently that engine is in my drift car with a 413 red DME and TMS chip..but I can swap it out

Good idea, for some reason I was thinking Gulfport, Mississippi and that is too much of a drive. Is it possible just to get the redline increase and nothing else?

I'm in Gulfport, FL. I live 4 minutes from the Skyway Bridge west coast middle Florida. Tampa Bay area. I can flash any of Barries codes for you if you come to my house.

Verrrry tempting, I'll start saving my pennies. I'm convinced that having to up-shift was the only reason Bimmerbum beat me at the autocross last weekend

I can do a redline increase and this is very common with autocross guy's - I wont charge you full price tune for something like this. Cheers

Just got Barrie's chip in my m42. Awesome upgrade that really wakes the car up. No more flat spots in the torque curve and the car really pulls now. Partial throttle response seems a little quicker now too. Also no EWS issue. Definitely a good tune and a great value.

Default I will hopefully be ready for Barrie's services soon

I have decided to go with a supercharger and have pretty much all I need gathered and waiting for cooler weather and time and energy on my part. Between the heat, my surgery, my familiy and work demands and the recent death of my sister my car has been on hold but I soon hope to have it going like mad with Barrie's help.
