Anyone use or heard of Maxchip? I was thinking about stopping by their Frankfurt store and getting it instead of a BMS stage 1.

They make power from air.

Hmm, they seem to care more about water ingress in their unit than protecting engines.
Please note in line 01 "The Maxchip Chip-tuning box System changes up to two parameters.)"
I wouldn't do it.

@Coolmex200 Maxchip taken-installed ?

[coolmex200]

Not yet. I ended up getting the "Pro" version, but I got it mailed to my home. They ended up sending me the wrong harness, the one for the N54 instead of the N55. I email them today and they are going to overnight me the correct one and should be receiving it tomorrow. I will let you know...

I'd love to hear your impressions of the tune! Let us know once you install it

[coolmex200]

They were having some sort of online sale and their website only charged me € 211. I will let you all know how it feels.

Oh my god......
Very big error.....

ok wait for your review of PRo version

[coolmex200]

I installed it! It was a breeze plugging into the TMAP and MAF (I believe that what they are called). At first it didn't really feel any different. I made some runs in the autobahn and changed the setting from 0 to 4. It definitely felt a difference while driving in comfort mode. The throttle response and pull was more like running on sports mode. I drove about 50 miles fairly hard...definitely sucked more gas while doing it. It drives with more zipp...I will update after the weekend drive!

OK
is necessary a little period of adaptation.

The best approach in order to test this product is made a 0-200km/h in sport mode

Stock results are around 17sec

A good new value for me is around 15 sec.

Remember to do the test in WOT (full throttle)
Only in WOT you reach the new max turbo boost

I would be trilled if you could log some boost and AFR values with the Torque app or something similar.

Below is made with Torque app + a bluetooth OBDII dongle

Having problems with your JB?

[coolmex200]

Oh no...I didn't buy a JB4...bought a maxchip pro from a German manufacterer. I don't have any gear to measure the boost or other parameters. After a week of driving, the response is a lot quicker during comfort mode. It's almost like you are driving in sports mode. In sports mode, definitely feels like it pulls a lot faster through the gears, but I haven't had a chance to really measure/time any runs. My gas consumption has gone from 24.5 mpg to 21, but I have been driving a lot more FOT.

I have been driving it fairly hard since I ended the breaking period. The throttle response is very fast, compared to stock. I have been driving on Normal mode, which feels like the stock sports mode. About every couple days I'll throw it into sports mode, but it feels like overkill, gurgles a lot, and seems to decrease my gas consumption too. Eco is still lagging, but I never use it.
Overall, the car zips faster with the Maxchip than without. I took it out for a couple days and it was like driving a brick. For the price that I paid (209 € I think), it's totally worth it. I have no other experience with JB4 or Cobb, so I can't compare to anything else, except for the stock 335 engine and how it felt without the chip. Hope this helps!

Tnx

I have installed the JB1
Same connections (map and TMAP)

The car gains 2 seconds on 0-180kmh. Is very fast !!

There are only one tuner code in the ecu (The electronic popoff and the debimeter detect the most pressure....)

This error is stored in various ecu.....
