Map configuration screen descriptions for all settings and values available.
This should help those using the screen for the first time get a sense of what the values are if or when they may not be clear. I realize some of you will enjoy these being added right in the screen even though all of them are documented in the actively maintained bootmod3 User Manual.

UPDATE: 0.10.083 is now out. Joining the club with the S55 and recent N55 release, map configuration now also includes Startup Roar for B58 and B48 F and G series vehicles, including the A90 Supra!
As usual, Web version is up to date with the latest, android some time later today and iOS once Apple approves the app release (anywhere between 1-5 days if no complaints from their end).
More updates to follow soon!

New bootmod3 features!
First one is ‘MAX cooling mode’ - this will reduce your water coolant targets by 10 degrees Celsius and applies to ALL engines and ROM versions!
Moreover, for the B series engines this enables the intercooler pump to be active at all times to lower intake air temperatures 🙌🏼
We also added GTS startup roar for the N55 EWG and PWG172X!
All of this is to be found under the ‘config’ menu on each map.

bootmod3 closed beta for the B48 engines has been a great success and we're excited to announce the wait is finally over!
Our development and testing teams have worked tirelessly on BMW B48 engine feature support over the past few months. Once B58 was released back in April focus shifted to B48 testing with a wider closed beta. Initial flash time that includes unlocking the DME is around 3 minutes and switching maps takes just 19 seconds using the standard ENET-OBD cable available on Amazon/eBay or through even some authorized dealers.

B48 FEATURES INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE TODAY
Top speed limiter removal
Exhaust burble adjustments in app on any map (OTS and custom)
Exhaust flap adjustments
Cold start (cat heating on startup) removal for quieter cold start
Cat efficiency check (CEL) removal for de-cat downpipes (for off-road use)
Maps for upgraded turbos
E85, race gas and meth injection tuning
Custom Throttle mapping
Power and torque gains differ between the 20i and 30i models due to slight changes in engine setup as well as factory power curves. Here is a breakdown of the gains in percentages compared to stock, see below. We're also attached some sample dyno graphs on a 20i and a 30i test vehicles.
Its been a ton of fun working through the initial development and w're really looking forward to seeing where the platform takes us from here!

It is our pleasure to have been part of this World Record setting project for the F8x M3 / M4 S55 engine platform. Factory ECU tuned using bootmod3 by Halim@HCPerformance. Impressive numbers and certainly leaves us wondering what is next for the S55 engine platform and to see this setup take on the 1/4 and 1/2 mile!

It's with great pleasure that we at Global Motoring Group share the latest results of our KRATOS KRAS55Bi Turbo System.
As many of you may know, within a week of completing an engine build on one of our developmental S55's we were able to put down preliminary dyno results of 975whp and 752wtq @ 35psi on pump E85. As the turbos clearly had much more left in them combined with the fact that the 35psi run is very close to the limit of the factory map sensor, we decided to move forward with installing a 4 bar map sensor that would enable us to dial in additional boost. Moreover, being that the KRAS55 line of turbo systems will begin their public release this month, we wanted to update those who have been following our recent developments.
We reached out to Burger Motorsports as they had a Bosch 4 bar sensor upgrade kit that would work for the application. Unfortunately, their kit was not made for S55's, but with the help of Terry & Payam they were able to put a custom PnP harness together for us in only one day and promptly shipped it to us. Once installed, Halim@HCP rescaled the map sensor to prepare the car for further testing of the KRAS55Bi turbos. With the car dialed in on a HCP custom tune @ 41psi and Ignite E85 fuel (E83 Via Fuel-It Sensor) with an ambient temperature of 77°F our KRAS55Bi's produced the following results listed below.
