Alex Alpine ECU Tune

Alex did both my Tune and DCT and was a pleasure to deal with him. Car is running great. DCT is quick and what a difference. Tune has also made a huge difference. I tracked my car twice after the tune and could not be happier.

Got the tune installed today and it feels great thus far. Alex was great to work with.

Worked with Alex to tune today. All went very well. Now I have to wait until the snow melts to test it out

Alex was great to work with as others said. Painless process.

reflashed my car from 93 octane to 92 octane yesterday, car feels alive again! I drove roughly 3000 miles flashed on 93 octane but I've been refueling with 92, no performance downfall during that time

What's the negative effect on the longevity of the engine with an aftermarket tune? Any?

Certainly less than running BMW's ridiculous oil change intervals!!

All the factory safety parameters are left in place; the vehicle will not usually pass certain limitations. The effects are minimal if nothing at all.

I sent a Pm Alex

Thanks guys

Stage 1 or 2?

honestly, the gains for all tunes will be very similar. you're talking maybe a few hp between them at most. At this price point, you won't find a better deal, plus Alex's customer service is top notch.

I have the stage 2 w/ the full Akra exhaust. I'm still on winter dunlops and my car is straight up dangerous w/ dsc off and sport + power. I'm sure I'll get used to it at some point, but I have no doubts it's making 380-390 whp right now. that's pretty darn good. It pulls like a freight train after 4k.

Eventually I'll add the AFD pro fuel commander and run e85 for that last bump to get to 400 whp.

stage 1, I still have primaries
the only thing on this upcoming dyno is stock file with stock exhaust with iPE F1 muffler

then alpine tune (92 octane) with stock exhaust/iPE F1 muffler

Any guess as to what we are expecting? Did Alex specify?

nope, I just wanted to get a tune and DTC flash without breaking the bank, anything to get an improvement over stock even if it's just "minor" but still makes a difference in driving

I can vouch for Alex as well. His tune is great and DCT drives so much better than stock. Excellent guy to work with!
