Curious then....how long does it keep this stuff for, do you know George? and is the JB1 virtually immune to any type of ECU digging, etc? I only say because there has got to be some values that the ECU is going to see are out of range. I.E. injector pulse/fuel used.

We have our own cars tested over and over as well as customer cars. There is nothing to be seen or at least that can be logged. On turbo cars the values stored are usually torque, boost and rpm. They do not really need to store much more because for fault instances they have freeze frames taken which will show the exact conditions a fault is cause where it will take a "picture" of the information on the CAN showing full conditions at the time.
On the naturally aspirated BMW's the main items stored and registered since the car is new is rpm and speed. The way it works is its got a trigger point. On a V8 M3 its 8400rpm so if the car has a raised rpm limiter each time it passes it will register the event and store it. In the BMW case its on a separate module in the car. This assists them to also prove a over rev if needed. Below is the report from a car that had its warranty revoked, the one is mileage based and the other time based. I must try find the report on the top speed exceeded of the same car.

Shoot now I'm worried about this tune. I know I'm a different revision U.S. Stage 2 HT but damn. You think the turbo could've failed put metal fragments in to the engine causing the other damage to your rod bearing and crankshaft. I'm just hoping it wasn't too much timing and caused a knock knock followed bye a boom that would make me worried about our knock sensor and the tune.

Mroski I feel like you should tell Eurodyne what happened even though there's no way to know if it was tune related.

This. Anytime something happens I usually tell my tuner. Just for a heads up.

Did Bronson even respond to you about the rod in your MKV? He has been MIA on his MK7 stuff....
