Very interesting. That's actually a great idea whoever thought of that!

I installed a ypipe and Dougs electric cutout valve on my 335 so I could open/close it with a switch but this is a very cool idea too.

it was my idea, i did something very similar on my 335!.
straight piped the valve side but left the valve in, and through jb4 i could open and close it, or it would open the same way this does, WOT of above 3000RPM, and added some bug tips of course

Jyohay,

Excellent build!! I just installed the Cobb.. still going through adaptation on the Stage I map.. seems to be better daily! Will try the +FMIC when no more improvement is noted. Thanks for your help!

Any plans to dyno the RaceTruk?

have you been going back and forth with josh from cobb?
check your logs and just make sure TPS% isnt getting cut at max boost (which mine was).
id go straight for +FMIC maps, you will know immediately if your truck doesn't like it.
as ive said the OEM FMIC is alot bigger on these.

i do plan on dynoing sometime.
i am thinking about getting protuned for e85..... but i just hear myself in the back of my head "get the x5 over the f10 535, that way you wont want to mod it like the 335"...... LOL

I have a Cobb v2 for sale for $650 shipped.
Just got a V3.
If anyone is interested let me know. You are responsible for checking if it works wth your n55 x5

Yes, I've been emailing Josh. He wants me to take some logs before I switch to +FMIC map just to make sure everything is ok.

My initial impression of the tune was disappointing but after some adaptation, I can now feel the difference. I also did a reset of the transmission adaptation which also made a difference. Now, I can't wait to try the +FMIC maps. Have you noticed your average MPG drop? Mine did, but I think it's because I'm on the throttle more now.

im at 15mpg but im lead footed.
only 2 setting no throttle and WOT haha.
its def bc of beign throttle happy,
since your getting stock peak boost at half throttle, you actually should have BETTER MPG at cruising speed since the engine is working more efficiently.

Haha.. gotcha!

What I'm really impressed about is how smooth the throttle is now. Before, I always feathered the pedal because the engine and the transmission were trying to decide which gear to use, especially from a complete or near stop. Now you just step and it goes in whichever gear its in. And this is just in D mode. I tried DS yesterday, and that's when you really feel the difference the tune makes.
