RC and Dinan are great piggy backs. I think Dinan goes 85hp(I could be wrong). But I think you'd be pleased with either. Dinan assumes your warranty if something breaks and why it's a premium charge. Jb4 or RC happens to be cause of something breaking your on your own with warranty claim. But seeing how mild they are I would feel confident either is safe for long term use

You have to be the first owner of the car since brand new and own the RaceChip GTS Black since new. Details are coming soon on their website. But, that's what was launched at SEMA 2019.

You are the first owner of the car, then later buy RaceChip GTS Black brand new for that car.

I wrote earlier on this in another forum. I used RaceChip in my Audi A8 4.0T. It was great for about two weeks, then it started to consistently put my engine in limpmode with an engine light coming on. I had to fight for my refund, becase RaceChip insisted that an engine checklight is a normal side-affect when using RaceChip. This was about 3 years ago, not sure if anything has changed with their products / service since then, but use at your own risk.

Yes, I checked my records and it was RaceChip Ultimate.
The fact that RaceChip company told me that limp mode and check engine lights are an expected result from using RaceChip products made me realize that this is not a professional tuning company and does not respect their clients or their vehicles. They did offer to exchange the unit for me under warranty, but at that point they lost all credibility. Last edited by bMm5w; 12-24-2019 at 11:34 AM.. |

The RaceChip Ultimate was weird. I have had 99% great success with it to all of my BMW customers and some other European vehicles. But, as you mentioned, I have heard a lot of horror stories on RaceChip Ultimate from Volkswagen and Audi guys. Regardless though, that was a Gen 1 product where the engineers and supplier were different. With Gen 2, the support and product quality is much much better. I, myself, as a reseller, felt big difference on their support. Too bad you weren't dealing with me. I put extra effort to give support since that's what a manufacturer discount to a retailer for. Not just for profit making, but to help on the front end of the market in taking care the customer. I even help end user who didn't purchase it from me when they asked for help. Well, I hope you are willing to give it another change through me. I guarantee that you will be happy and satisfied with it like I do and all of my RaceChip customers.

I had nothing but problems with RC ultimate on my S6... went with GIAC flash that was really good... then couple of injectors went out... flagged with TD1 even though the car was flashed back to stock... $6k job as engine had to be pulled out.
RC GTS black is phenomenal on my 2018 m550 and my father's f25 x3 |

I hope you guys don't give up on the brand just because of the past history. Look at Apple, no one likes their products and supports before. And look at them now. Now, 8/10 people are owning Apple products and loving it.
