As for bm3, they finally published a new tune. If anyone is running the old one, I highly recommend you get off it, there is no doubt in my mind that the tune has caused many engine failures across the n63tu platform.

Also, I don't think halim from bm3 doesn't actually knows shit about tuning. His logic for why he backed off torque and boost because it snaps rods is stupid. The majority of thr issues aren't from too much torque, it's from poor tuning causing detonation.

If they can't create a proper tune to go with their product, they shouldn't even offer the tune with the bm3 package.
Any word if the new revised tune is better or more importantly safer?
