Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
AMD & DMS are probably the 2 most popular ECU tuners around.

Suggestion
DMS can come to your home & they simply take a copy of the ECU settings, then load their pre-set settings onto the ECU & away you go, so its a "one size fits all" type approach.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am thinking of taking my car from the 450bhp to 500bhp. Can anybody recommend anything, i.e. AMD, JZM, etc? Thanx [ ]

POST 2Original post

AMD & DMS are probably the 2 most popular ECU tuners around. AMD more expensive, but they do rolling road the car before, then do a custom map suited to your specific car, then a rolling road after to asses the modification, therefore you need to take the car to their HQ. DMS can come to your home & they simply take a copy of the ECU settings, then load their pre-set settings onto the ECU & away you go, so its a "one size fits all" type approach. They keep a record of your standard ECU settings so that it can be reversed back at any time. I think from memory DMS charge £2k & AMD more like £3.5k. Having spoken to several DMS modified owners all seem very happy with the modification. DMS do say that they can take an X50 car to 550bhp with their chip & exhaust....very tempting ! J

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Julian Thanx for the pointer, I will do some research and then decide..... I will keep the forum posted. Cheers
