    Default Possible tuning woes

    My 08 m3 originally had a 2.0 but I swapped in a 2010 2.5 and everything was good until tuning. I seem to be running hot as per evidence on my spark plugs and I have no power at all from 2000rpm up to 5000. I've checked for intake leaks none found I've checked compression and found 170-175 across the board. I've swapped out fuel injectors and coils with no change. I finished my tune with orange virus last fall and it seemed good all winter. Once it warmed up it runs like crap....not sure what to do...

    Let me look at the stock rom file, and ill help you. send me screen shots of what its running now. and/or, I will walk you through the process of it which u asked about last year. I still have my own rom file from when i had my own 2.5l, so it should be an easy fix if its a software/tuning issue. pm me and well go from there.

    Thumbs up Re: Possible tuning woes

    Special thanks to kiyomi for finding the problems with my tune that orangevirus said was mechanical issues and not tuning. My car runs great now. Very very happy.
