R56 ecu tuned by Mario gains 30% more power + 1/4 mile runs

I sent my ecu to Mario Palza at MQUBED MOTORSPORT. I got the stage 2 tune and the difference is significant. Between all the parts from ‪@CTSTurbo‬ and the tune, now I need some sticky tires.

Congrats on the tune! It is a proper track beast now!
I want to do a stage 1 tune with pops and bangs but I can't justify it just yet, my wife is still driving the kids around in the Mini...

[@recklesslyfestyle]

Thank you, it’s fun. Yeah, she may not like the pops and bangs. My wife doesn’t drive mine and no kids. Mine can just be a toy.

[@jakebruenderman2481]

Lots of construction on the way to Mexico it seems

[@recklesslyfestyle]

Indeed there was.

[@TheDuckseason]

is this a factory ECU ? ever thought about wider rims and tires?

[@recklesslyfestyle]

It is the factory ecu. Yeah, something flow formed and light is in the plans.

@@recklesslyfestyle would be nice to see what difference light wheels make. I'm in the same boat at the moment, Autec Clubracing looks good to me. Or maybe more exotic Lenso. Real shame we don't have Konig wheels in Poland.

[@recklesslyfestyle]

That’s too bad. I’m thinking either Konig Ultragram or Enkei RPF1. Light wheels should be fun.

[@74lilyblue]

What are your mpg’s now?

[@recklesslyfestyle]

Mid 30’s I think. I’ve honestly never calculated it. Much better than my Jeep and Superduty, I know that haha.

[@74lilyblue]

@@recklesslyfestyle thanks. Just got a 2010 MCS and will def stage 2 it. Just liking my mid 30’s mpgs compared to 14 in my silverado but didn’t know if there was a big drop after the tune. 👍

[@kenibru2]

What was the cost of this mod?

[@recklesslyfestyle]

About $800.

[@garfieldhall5042]

Need is info

[@kreevey33]

🔥Mario's that guy. Congrats

[@recklesslyfestyle]

I’m a fan. 👍👍

[@Carguylogan]

You'd have to go from a 2.36 to like a 1.75 60' to cut a second off the ET and that car doesnt have enough power to get anywhere near that 60'. A manual R56 launched at full throttle from 6000 rpm on wrinkle wall slicks might hit a 2.0 60'.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Can you send me his information (Mario) I mean. I think I got everything ready for the ecu flash.

@@recklesslyfestyle Just got mine on my R60 Countryman S All 4. I have the tune setup only when in sport mode, night and day.

[@Eli.babb623]

So you went with the stage 2, but no downpipe? Doesn't he recommend the downpipe? No hate, I'm just looking at the same tune and am curious

[@recklesslyfestyle]

I have a CTS Turbo downpipe.
