How much would you expect to pay for a Stage 1?

[arktis 58]

After a bit of research, I think I'm gonna do a muffler delete and a Stage 1. If I can find an intake that isn't priced stupidly I'll do that too.

How much would you expect to pay for a Stage 1? MHD not an option for me.

Can you / someone school me on what the different stage tunes are. I know there is chatgpt but I'd rather learn it from family.

I asked about that today too. It seems pretty ambiguous. It seems like:

Stage 1 - A tune to unlock factory potential.

Stage 2 - A tune with all bolt-ons done.

Stage 3 - Forced induction, fuel injection, the lot.

I'm no expert but maybe have a look at this website to estimate how much it costs.

I went to Eurosurgeon for stage 1. While I have no complaint about the service I received, they certainly charged more than these guys :p

Hope this helps.

That's really cheap. I got quoted $1250 today.

Call Basil at Autopassion. I have paid $995 for their stage 1 tunes on several cars. Talk to him directly rather than what their website quotes for power as it is not up to date. No plug in boxes used, an ECU remap or whatever it is called.

I've also used Basil and fully recommend him, a good person to deal with.

That's a very low price. Do you have a dyno, or are you using a preset to flash the ECU?

Anything custom i.e bigger injectors, turbo etc would be best on a Dyno if you want to achieve maximum gains. Flash tunes like stage 1, 2 are tested on thousands based on your model so yes preset. I use alttune who are based in Taupo.

I can also do data logging if you wish to do maximum gains.

 

Search my name on here and bmw fb pages. You'll see lots of reviews. I tune all makes and models not just BMW
