I have to say thanks again for the attachment. It is awesome and will save me some money when diagnosing problems when it's out of warranty.
I found it very interesting that my pickup's engine technology and the BMW's if very close. However, the BMW the level of electronics managing the engine is on a completely different level - actually, a different planet in a different galaxy.
What kills the motor's horsepower is the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) circuit. I removed this in my pickup and ran a bypass to fool the ECU. Overall operating temps are down, economy is up, power is up, performance is up, but most likely at a cost of increased emissions.
If you have anything else like this for the F15, I would appreciate you sharing.
Thanks again.
