Does anyone have any experience with the split second turbo tuner? I've been around for a while and I've NEVER seen this mentioned. To be honest it looks like a jb+ at a jb4 price. :shrugs: http://store.bimmerworld.com/split-s...535-p1116.aspx

Very outdated now

[mithiral67]

used one for 20k miles. For $80 used, its like $2-3 per hp you get out of it. Car drove like stock with a little more juice. If you want a cheap tune, thats the way to go for sure.

[rader1]

For $80 i'd def be willing to give it a shot, but for $499 hell no lol
Is it comparable to a jb+?

[tomtom11]

yes except the jb+ can give you more boost

[mithiral67]

do not buy it new.

jb+ can go more boost and is adjustable. Its usually runs about twice as much. But be warned, if you buy one of these, you will be back for more in less than 6 months.

I'm getting the cobb AP in a couple months, I just stumbled across this and I was just wondering about it. After this little discussion, I'm not against getting this used to tide me over till I get the AP...
Edit: I just realised that the abbreviation is SSTT and I've actually seen many people list this as a mod, my bad lol

i sell you one if you want

PM sent

I've got one - the 2nd version, which is adjustable - sitting on a shelf in my garage. It can add up to 4lb. boost, with no other adjustments. It plugs in at the Manifold Pressure sensor connection. I suspect that this and the JB+ may be identical. PM me if you want mine for a very reasonable price.

[rader1]

I already bought dirtmaster's, thanks for the offer though

[nichojo]

I've got one. Doesn't change anything except when you feel the boost spool you tend to get a little more tug with this little guy.

[rader1]

UPDATE: Ok, first of all props to dirtmaster for the speedy shipping of the SSTT. Secondly, I've had it on the car for a week now, assuredly its done with the adaptation, and there is absolutely no difference as far as I can tell. I mean I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping for atleast something. My schedule will be more open in a couple weeks and ill be heading to the dyno, I'm curious to see what has changed.

When I dynoed my previous e90 with SSTT long time ago, I gained around 30 HP at the crank

you should of just went straight to a real tune - SSTT is a waste of time and $

Yeah, but $100 really isn't a big gamble and id give it a shot just purely for a little bit of first hand knowledge. Id be super pissed though if I had bought it new at $600 lol hopefully the AP will be coming the end of the month

you will like the AP

I think you would be happier with the JB+ but I would just get the Cobb from the Get-go.

I'm a PM away if you have any questions on either.

Was your ECU asleep when you installed it? If not, it might cancel out the gains. Someone help me with that theory. Disconnect your battery, a then re-install the SSTT, to make sure the ecu is napping. Then see if you have more power.

Go with the JB+

Or better yet, get a Procede V5 or JB4!

Yep, battery was unplugged and I let it set for well over 1/2 an hour. And from what I've read; putting the ecu to sleep just lessens the time it takes to adapt, but I may be wrong there. The only thing I can think is that it has been hot and humid this week and possibly that almost cancelling out the effect. Like I said, no big deal I wasn't expecting much. I know I've gotta get a real tune to really feel a difference.
