Steve Q Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I agree with Steve on getting a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. There's no point tuning a poorly car. Dark side developments, thanos tuning and Revo are all supposed to be good. What ever tuner you use though make sure they have a rolling road for best results with any remap. You can also combine it with a stainless steel exhaust I can give positive feedback of powerflow. As well as having an upgraded panel air filter or induction kit. You could also look at an upgraded intercooler or turbo if you're considering serious power. 1
Marco T Posted April 21, 2022 Author Posted April 21, 2022 Thanks guys ain't got a turbo but will take your advice and let you know the results speak soon 👍

Anton8 Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Hi Mark I had this on a BMW 6 series I owned. I had recently changed the oil and cross threaded the oil cap. Therefore the engine was trying to breathe though it. The diagnostic check showed an air mass problem, but luckily problem spotted by mechanic before money changed hands. Tony 1

Erm you'll need the wiring, modules, ballast boxes and headlights I believe. It'll have to be coded to the car too. Definitely a job for a professional. I know other members have use autologics for retrofits and have nothing but praise for them.
Marco T Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Hi thanks Steve Yeh it was an air mass flow censor may give them boys a ring then thanks again top man
