The guy was brand new! And didn't flinch when I was firing questions at him. He says the gains are possible due to BMWs new turbo 🤷🏼, the gains they were getting are higher but they are keeping the box at 362bhp when at full power.
Also said to bare in mind they have been trading for 16 years and never had any issues with there products.
DMS are into the 400s in power? Merc is managing 400+ standard also a 2L. Stuff to think about lads!!

This does sound good. It's good that they are local as well. Even on module 1, you will be getting a decent power increase
Some facts to consider and a couple of things I have picked up during my research:
BMW's new B48A20T1 engine has:
New pistons
Stronger crankshaft with bigger main bearings
Stronger con rods
Upgraded turbo with a max boost pressure of 2.7 bar/38psi @1025°C
Compare this to AMG A45s, their turbo at 2.1bar/30psi
My car is currently running about 26psi @315hp
Applying some basic maths, if the boost pressure is raised 30psi like in the A45s, you get 363.5hp.
The graph looks smooth so without looking into it too much it.
My only concern is that; if you watch the Racechip clip, they managed to get higher numbers but had to pull back the tune due to reliability issues (temperature & ignition timing). And here's where I think 'what is considered a safe tune' is different amongst tuners. On the flipside Tdi might be really good at tuning engines!
