FAQs:
Q: What kind of installation times are involved? A: Typically the first time the unit is installed, we recommend you allow for about 3 hours install time to familiarize yourself with sensor locations. It is usually a good deal less time after this.
Q: What other products should I consider along with the ITCM? A: We like to recommend a set of performance air filters, and since you will be modifying the electronics, a CAN Tool to allow you to reset a 'check engine' light should one illuminate at any time.
Q: What if BMW changes the ECU, or a new feature comes out? Or if I sell the car? A: We want to offer what no others can. We support our "Intelligent Controller" products 100% and allow you to upgrade to the latest new features for free! In the case of an upgrade, such a s a new feature very minimal money as you only pay for the hardware if necessary. In this example, if you were to purchase this unit now and we come up with a new feature like a switch to change a function, we would upgrade the firmware for free and only charge you for the additional hardware required to do that. This way you get all the benefits of the new features without having to spend a bunch of money! ALSO, if you get a different BMW, like a 335d, or M5.. or even new Turbo M3 (everyone knows that's next). We will be able to offer you a super quick option of a new harness & software reprogram, and now your ITCM works on your new car! The ITCM is very flexible and will be upgraded over the years.
Q: What if my car is still under warranty, or I am concerned about reliability? A: The VAC ITCM unit is the evolution of previous technology that has been proven for many years by many of Europe's best ECU tuners. We invested many hours of development on the ECU tuning and needs of the BMW owner, but the hardware itself has already been proven thousands of times. Proven to be exceptionally safe and reliable, over many years and thousands of miles. The ITCM is designed to be installed and removed in less than an hour by almost anyone. We include simple, yet comprehensive instructions so you will be confident you can have your car ready to be dealer serviced in a moments notice, and then back on the road with your power gains immediate after. The ITCM unit is undetectable by the ECU. We have customers using the VAC ITCM on X6 & X5M cars in the hottest deserts of the middle-east, and the coldest parts of Alaska without issue.
Q: Will this adversely affect my gas mileage? A great feature of the ITCM: NO, when cruising and under normal transportation conditions, fuel consumption will not become greater. Under full throttle/full turbo boost will the engine will use more fuel as its now using the turbochargers to greater potential.
