Shark Injector Installed

Upgradeable maybe....but programmable as you mod? IDK.

If it is upgradeable........Show me where the upgrade is...cuz I want it.

I thought we beat this to death in the other "chip" thread.

Dane -
Where did you get that from? The Shark Injector is most definitely upgradeable. It's in their FAQ.

Link?

This is my point. I bought the USB cable....but I think what they meant to say was' "Hey fella's, if we ever put together an upgrade, you can use this USB cord to upload it".

It most definetly does not mean...."Upgrade as you mod"

OK, now I see that. No mention of anything like that in the FAQ though for some reason.

Reviving this 4-year old thread in anticipation of my Shark injection on Monday the 1st. I'm REALLY hoping to cure the 4k dip, which is severe in my car, always has been. I bought it 3 years ago with 52k miles, and one of the first preventive maintenance things I did was refresh the DISA with the GAS "DISA Gold" valve. The 4k dip has never been cured. I've been reflashed once by my indy as well to ensure that I have the latest factory software, and clear adaptations. No help. So I'm really hoping this is the magic bullet. Full review to come Monday night.

Well then in for updates. Any reason you didn't go the Eurocharged route?

a) never heard of it, and b) this was an opportunistic purchase, when the Shark turned up for sale here for a good price. And Jim Conforti has a stellar reputation in the BMW world. We'll see what I think of him shortly.

Interested in what you think once it's installed. I bought one from TMS because it was on sale, but Seth has me considering going the Eurocharged route. Have to decide soon if I should return it.

OK, the deed is done. Initial impressions? General drivability GREATLY enhanced. Throttle response is much better in routine driving. Never really considered the drive-by-wire in my car to be at all bad, but in comparison, it stunk compared to how it feels now. For example, the car just feels a LOT more alive immediately after shifting into 2nd at normal cruising velocities.

As for the dreaded 4k dip that I'm hoping to cure - I only got to put my foot into it a couple of times so far, but it's still there, at least slightly. This was in 105-degree heat with the AC blasting, maybe not the best conditions to get a fair read, so I'll drive it some more before I pass judgment on that issue, but if it's not (largely) resolved, I'll be disappointed. Stay tuned.
