The other thing I noticed with the new V3.0 is that I'm not getting that extreme boost spike at my shift points, I'm now seeing a quick spike to about 15 psi for about a nanosecond and then it goes to 13 psi (roughly). It could be due to the fact that I just installed a new FMIC and Stett CAI so the internal temps are cooler requiring less boost.
Boost is measured pre throttle body and any overboost causes the throttle to close which can create an inflated boost reading.

You need to do full logs to see if this is true. Its likely throttle closure (perfectly normal) and that amount of boost isnt actually reaching the intake manifold.

Better said, its normal and your ok. Log to make sure.

Your AFRs are perfect and exactly where they should be...boost also sounds great..

based on my last log, the most my manifold saw was 16.3psi - then BAM, throttle closure when it hit 16.5-17psi.

Was it a cobb log reading intake manifold pressure?

"Boost" channel on the AP logs intake manifold pressure...if you have throttle closure the boost in the intake manifold will be less than what the MAP sensor sees (pre-throttle)

Right. Just making sure cause you can still log pre throttle body IIRC

If you unmarry your first car first, you can install on another N54.

yeah, just like the post above says.

it's not like you can buy a Cobb Tune and get a group of your closest bimmer bros together and start flashing ya'lls cars.

that would be silly.......

So If I were to flash my current car with the COBB... What would I do to Tune the 335is when I comes? Is it NOT possible to have both running at the same time?

Perhaps you can work something out with Cobb, but I think you would have to buy two Ap's.

nope, each cr would need it's own Cobb AP.

since i had been mainly focused on seeing the software released for 07 vehicles, you might want to check to see if they have 335is support.

something tells me they do.

BUT, if all goes well and i trade in my SRT8 for an AW 335 Sedan at the end of the year, i will have to get another Cobb AP for the white car.

You want the best datalogger? Get an AIM Solo...nothing else compares.
