Sure, why not throw some pure turbos on it too while you're at it?
How are they supposed to add a tune that doesn't exist for that platform yet? Maybe same engine, but boost can be different etc for a piggyback, and flash would definitely to be independently developed for the updated DME.  |
I was assuming it's still the b58 so most tunes should work that we're for the f30 b58. I guess in this case it's the b48. Or actually it's both depending on which press car you're referring to. |
Yeah but G20 platform may have the sensors in different places, base boost will be different (jb4 works by adding x boost over stock, and without knowing what the new base is, could lead to trouble), and DME will be tied to the G platform which may make flash tuning hard to crack, and even if it wasn't, boost and timing will be different given the new base tune for both cars. Point is that it's not a simple plug and play, and will require a bit of development. Remember both engines have different numbers (hp and tq) from their F30 predecessors despite being the same engine code.
