    Miller Maf + war on my 2.7 or not

    Searched the forum for a while because I heard alot about this setup (good and bad things ) .. So I am wondering this is worth shipping to europe

    My 2.7 stroker is currently running 1.1 motronic 173 ecu with modified alpina 2.7 setup .. m52b28 injectors, e38 735i AFM and bigger trottle valve

    What would be my gain .. hp/torque wise .. with my current setup it produces 206hp and 268 nm of torque .. she pulls good from 1500rpm onwards to become really stron from 3500rpm to 6900rpm

    Thx

    From what I have read for just the MAF, ZERO horsepower gain, better throttle response. Adding the WAR chip is the question.

      I would go with the MAXX Alpha-N setup, you have a much larger user base and support group and a very good bang for the euro

          i cant see that MAXX alpha N piggback being worth it as it doesnt seem to do ignition timing leave it to the S14 guys

          i would think there are some gains to be had from the WAR but dont know exactly and nobody will tell you definitively

            how about VEMS?

            the war chip is problematic. it does work, but not always perfectly and if you have issues support will be very difficult.

            I second Digger's comment on the Alpha-N setup. Piggybacks that can't control ignition timing are a waste of time.
