Stacking Dinan stage 2 with Alpina flash..

neverdone · 05-07-2016, 10:27 AM

So I'm about to pull the trigger on an X135 that has the Dinan stage 2 and it just doesn't shift as fast as the Alpina. Has anyone stacked these? I can't find an answer anywhere..

I thought the dinan stage 2 is an ecu flash and the Alpina is a tcu flash. Two completely different things.

Two entirely different tunes. One is for the trans flash and the other is a tuning product. Get a hold of Top Gear Solutions they can do your trans flash for like $100 or something.

Ya I thought so, but from reading the specs, it does say that it changes the shift as well, but it's noticeably different than my Alpina.

Alpina is much less than that with TGS.

This. To answer the question, yes, I've done DINAN stage 3 with Alpina flash.

One is an ECU flash, one is a TCU flash.
