Would appreciate your feedback.

OP I understand from another thread you've ordered the RCU?

Keep us posted how it works out for you.

Also fyi, stage 4 setting will give you max power. On the 435i (N55 engine), that's S2=E, S1=2.

Just a quick question, Where can I find the turbo boost pressure connection to connect to the harness?

I'm a bit lost

I'm guessing this is on stock Racechip settings. You can get even more power by adjusting switches S1/S2. I was able to get my N55 engine to stage 5 (S2=F, S1=2).

Regarding wheelspins, if you're getting this on dry roads, then yes you might want to consider changing your tires. But I have brand new rear tires, and still I get wheelspins if the roads are even mildly wet...there's just too much power (not that I'm complaining ). This is on sports+ though, just switch down to sports and the DTC will prevent said wheelspins.

If choose JB4, Dinan or Rebellion over RaceChip.

But for a 435i I'd go for a DMS remap over all of the above too if warranty is not an issue.

If warranty is an issue MPPK is a consideration.

Never heard of Racechp. That looks very interesting and a decent price for the HP increase...
