Did Vivid actually develop this, or are they reselling someone else's tune?

My understanding is they’ve developed it themselves.

Surprised they can make 385hp reliably with no mods to the car. Chargepipe and cat wouldn't live very long, and the car must heatsoak after 1 pull on stock intercooler.

Either way imagine if they tune it with an intercooler, cp, tic, intake, and little exhaust work. Who ever said their expensive I don't see where your coming from cause at 600 that's the going rate wherever you go? Bm3 is 600 not even custom.

The 385hp you stated is just around 70hp & 90ft/lb increase, which is on par with everything else on the market. There isnt a secret sauce certain tuners have on a stock turbo N55. Its all the pretty much the same.

I wouldn't look at anything other than Bootmod3 at this point.
They have the most experienced and most users with our platform!

Sincerely someone who has been using the platform since December 2016!

Get DP + IC from CTS Turbo had it in my X4 M40i and wouldn't recommend anything else to others after first hand experience.

badbread has guide too http://*************
Google cg precision they make a 5" cat for the downpipe outflows all catted downpipes and no cel. I've done my research. Even better than the fabspeed dp.

Vivid Racing is local to me. I can almost guarantee they didn't develop this on their own. They are simply a really nice (think high end) distributor of aftermarket parts. They don't really have a shop anymore. I believe they still have a dyno, for testing the results of the brands they choose to carry, but if you went to them directly and asked them to put on a part you bought from them or flash tune your car, they'll direct you to a real shop and send their bolt-ons or tune to them to have them install it. When they're in the process of testing a tune, they will install it themselves. Nice business, good guys that own it, but when I need something, I call Mike at Extreme Power. He's been beyond accommodating...

Mike is where I'm gonna get my intercooler and tic, cp, and bootmod3. I agree.
