Since they released the new update. Not sure a couple weeks i think. Zero Issues. I do have a separate OBDII plug issue but non related and they have sent me a new Cable. Hopefully it gets here in time. Headed to the track on Sunday.

And that's with just plain ole high quality 93? No octane booster, e85, or any other witchcraft? Any idea how many miles it may have been in those few weeks?

Not sure. Around 1000 went to my dads and he lives 300 miles away.

Also, I beat on my girl. Raced a wrx, zl1 and a 5 series since map 3. One was on the highway for about 15 miles lol.

It's a nice bump from 2 to 3. This weekend I'm doing my exhaust and running some 101 octane on map 5 should be fun.

Did you use version 5 that says "5.hex" or "5_T5.hex"?

I don't recommend using map 3 or higher on 93 octane, my friend used map 3 on 93 octane to do a dyno pull and he is now leaking oil. He had to take off his JT intercooler and High flow cats and midpipe and blow off valves to take the car back to the dealer. He will be taking the car to the dealer tomorrow, He believes the damage was caused by using the JB4 on map 3 on 93 octane.....will keep everyone updated......

You're talking about anthony. I think he was doing to much. Everything he was running, he should have got a ecu tune or at very least send some emails to bms of a few runs so they can hp him with a custom map. Either way, no way to just point at the jb4. I have also seen issues with people using aftermarket BOVs and not having everything adjusted properly. Seems that's when his issues really started after he installed the BOVs

 

[DaBears4Lyfe]

Also I have logs of quite a few Map 3 WOT that I have sent to the BMS squad. Everything was looking great.

Yes Anthony , but he is not that moded dude I have just as many mods as he does ..... and we’re not sure where he is leaking oil from but white smoke was coming out .. so maybe the turbos seals I am not sure once he takes to the dealer tomorrow I will keep everyone updated ... he also had oil on his blow off valves or the lines that go there ... will provide more details in the next days just be careful

Yup I just edited my post. A few people have had serious issues with aftermarket BOVs already. This is now the 5th person. That's when his issues started after he did the BOVs. You can run into some serious issues if everything isnt timed properly. I'm sure @Terry@BMS can chime in on that.

Also, I'm not concerned in the least bit. I know how my car should run and how it should sound. Everything is still on the up and up. Once I do the exhaust and have a few runs this weekend the first thing I will be doing is sending logs to terry to make sure every thing still looks great without the secondaries and opening up the exhaust.

He will need to figure out where oil is coming from, turbo, pcv, rings, etc, and then based on that we can speculate as to why. More boost more problems holds true, but may be as simple as a poorly designed bov kit taking out a turbo.

I personally dont know where the oil is coming from or what caused it...hes has HKS BOV I dont see why the BOV will cause that there high quality and trusted name.....Now I know for a fact that issue started after he had his dyno session and ran map 3 on the dyno on 93 octane.....FYI I am aware that JB4 clearly states to use E30 mix or high octane fuel for map 3.... All im saying is for all those with JB4 do not run map 3 unless you have the proper fuel....

 

[Angel]

I have JB4 and run map 2 all day long and i have not had any issues at all... now i personally am not running anything above map 2 because i dont trust any piggy back to push the car to its limits i am satisfied with map 2 neither i want to run race fuel or e 85 mix on my car....but that is my personal opinion
