Review - Vishnu Procede v4 Early Release -6MT

OK so i know there are people on here talking about this new V4 Logic and how it does this and does that. I was fortunate enough to get put on the beta and let me tell you, IT IS ALL TRUE.

I have had the most annoying oscillation lately. My car has been running strong and driving good or as good as anything else that is or has been out there. Let me start by saying, i have tried all tunes, Jb3, My car was flashed by a friend with a DimmSport ( what most flashes are done with ) and also have the proceed revII. I got the oscillation with all of the tunes, some worse than others but it was there. I wont get into which is better blah blah blah. I just know that the oscillation was there and was really bothering me. So much so that i had my wastegate adjusted numerous times by both BMW and independent shop and no matter what tune i ran, the oscillation was there, Until V4.

Shiv sent me the V4 Beta this afternoon and i loaded it right away and went for a long cruise on this beautiful day in SoCal. First thing i check for was the oscillation, It was gone, Completely GONE!!! Then i noticed how the boost reacted with my foot. I wanted 5lbs i hold it at 5 lbs, i stab it and it goes straight to 15lbs until i lift my foot. It reacts like a NA car. So fast that i think i am going to look for a better boost gauge cause the Defi one i have seems slow. The driveability seems good and power is there. But its more pronounced. More available anytime you need it. Wastegate rattle? WHAT RATTLE!!! Its gone. Completely gone. This thing is bad ass.

From what Shiv told me, this is just half of what the full V4 is going to do. I cant wait for the final release to be out. I have been offered a free custom flash and the given options you get with the revII kept me from doing it. Valet mode, Full meth safety features, adjustable 1st and 2nd gear boost limiting, no bog when slamming through the gears and so many more features. Driveability is so smooth and honestly, the way boost reacts now with V4, its better than any other turbo car i have ever driven. I will try to take some boost gauge video tomorrow. All you revII users, are definitely in for an awesome treat!

A basic "no frills" demo version of v4 will be released sooner than you guys think. By "no frills" I mean limited user adjustability and no map switching. Still more than enough to have fun and to see what the hubbub is about.
