So long overdue (from previous owner) the car needed a nut task because; maintenance at a performance shop that specializes in BMWs, even some of the mechanics had 335 so I felt at home (still do btw).
Before hand, the auto was boosting "well" felt "powerful", anyway, AFTER the nut job the motorcar would throw a constant code of P0238 Powertrain Turbo/Super Charger Boost Sensor "A" Circuit High (code read through obd2 link and pro torque app, code was too affirmed through the performance shop reader.)
So one of the mechanics/335i driver decided to allow me infringe there tmap sensor. So now that I have the sensor that presumed to piece of work in manus, I decided to upgrade from the underground racing intake (which was RIDICULOUSLY dirty) to some fresh DCIs, upgraded the charger pipage and while was at information technology , add on the would-exist-working Tmap sensor (upgrades where from armed). Super excited to see this new power I get down the street for a test pull....an well....*bloom* power reduced, same code....
So I call the shop to explicate, they told me to come over, they cleared it, get about another mile and *flower* it'southward back. I've reached fuck information technology...
So I'm taking my family on a outing during the time I would cutting the car off at a stop low-cal, the code and engine light would articulate till I started driving for that day. At present this is when it gets weird, the day after the code wouldn't generate at all then i took advantage of the moment to feel what the power is like and holy shit its nuts....until I hit 3rd gear and so *bloom* it'southward back...
So to sum this upwards, the automobile would start up, no codes till driven hard (full pull in 3rd gear) *bloom* power reduced but there'southward no codes.
Deplorable story was actually long, but I'm trying non to leave anything out, an oh, thanks for the invite!
Edit* I also ordered a fresh tmap from fcp, gonna try that, if that doesn't work then....I'm going to the dealership...

Sorry, I failed to mention after all that I am non tune however completely stock melody wise. I programme on going jb4 at the end of the month if money allows it, so I'm using the stock (two.v) tmap.You have a JB4 auto immigration codes?
Thanks for the reply!

Some other thought, is it possible that the tmap "works" simply the the code is a hard code that needs to be cleared by a ameliorate code reader? Information technology but doesn't brand any sense that the lights on and no codes
If you have an SES light on and the code reader is not showing codes then become a better code reader. My suggestion is catch a bimmergeeks cablevision and MHD regardless of if y'all plan on tuning. Tough to own an N54 without the proper ability to read codes.
If savvy with computers, INPA and the software suite BMW uses is available online free but theres a learning curve. Took me about 7-8 hours before I was up and running / familiar with software (I'm kind of simple tho). You'll still need an OBD to USB cable

Volition I be able to read the codes with a jb4 unit and app, seems like getting the jb4 is inevitable at this point, but it'll exercise me good in the long run.If you have an SES lite on and the lawmaking reader is not showing codes then become a better code reader. My proposition is grab a bimmergeeks cable and MHD regardless of if you plan on tuning. Tough to ain an N54 without the proper ability to read codes.If savvy with computers, INPA and the software suite BMW uses is available online free but theres a learning curve. Took me about vii-8 hours before I was upward and running / familiar with software (I'thousand kind of simple tho). You'll yet need an OBD to USB cablevision
Also gonna take a peak at the INPA and the software, those I'm not as well savvy myself ( I feel your pain) as for the obd to USB, I think I tin see the one I have now from Saab, and then .
Thank you guys for the replies, I've had more than replies here then a combine of all 3 FB forums I'm function of.

Tell us most the car - year, miles, any known service history. Factory diverter valves or aftermarket blow-off valve?
I know you like your shop, only I'g curious why they didn't resolve this upshot? Also ... distressing don't know what a "nut job" is ... and just to be clear from your description ... you say information technology was boosting well before the piece of work, but not after?

As you have the app, do you have the OBD-II cablevision (bimmergeeks is same quality, btw) to connect MHD to the car?Tell us near the motorcar - yr, miles, any known service history. Factory diverter valves or aftermarket accident-off valve?

2007 335i 154,thirty miles, maintenance is unknown being that I had to pay $1500 in repairs to get it to pass VA state inspection.
Pitiful, read the term "nut job" on the forum and used it thinking it was a usually used word hither, but that was in reference to a walnut boom.
I as well have the tial BOV, upgraded charge pipe, DICs and plan on upgrading the IC this weekend if weather permits.
Every bit for the shop, they told me to get the iii.v bar t-map and become the jb4 to mate them and it should articulate the effect, merely I'm still very confused as to how a walnut blast would cause this.
Noting the OBD2 cable, is it a cable that connects from motorcar to PC or is it from car to phone?
Thanks for the reply!

Yes, the cable is for connecting to a telephone/tablet for MHD connectivity. "Nut job" means many things ......
Troubleshooting needing a walnut blast or injectors can be catchy, they tin can take like attributes. A walnut smash on this engine is another preventative maintenance item on these engines, then like shooting fish in a barrel to start at that place (with coils/plugs likewise).

The miles are st 154,xxx then I have no clue about the plugs/coils only I'll have a look at It after I drop the car off at BMW to see if they tin can clear the lawmaking an see if that t-map tin can actually function.May be a stupid coincidence - only how many miles on the plugs/coils? My bad coils never had codes until admittedly hammering it one night. They are a wear item.Yes, the cable is for connecting to a phone/tablet for MHD connectivity. "Nut task" means many things ......

Roger that, I'm waiting on my bimmergeeks cable to mate the MHD I'thousand before long to buy, so I can read the right codes instead of the generic ane and become this tune so I can really experience this machine!The mods you chose are good, but will be best suited paired with a tune. They are non going to do much for you lot with mill dme settings. At this betoken you are needing a lawmaking reader and a tuner. Id just pick one and movement on
Thanks for the respond!

No problem, hope y'all go dorsum to total boost soon!
I have enjoyed this lower end scanner for a few years now. You can also examination equipment with information technology and code injectors etc for more than DIY type stuff. Its more detailed and covers a lot more of the cars full system diagnostics. Plus you tin can use information technology on your other cars.

So, basically where I'k at now I'll start from where the last convoy with RCBoost2007 which was in short "getting a real scanner". Moving, forward me and fmoreill was trying to figure out the outcome which I've mention about the codes that I couldn't read with the scanner I was using which then I decided to get to BMW and have them scan information technology which they found the 30FF code which baffled me at first until they explained where they constitute the leak which was located on the charge piping *sigh* which was where the meth injection ports were located, there was suppose to be 2 bolts plugging the holes so they must of blew out.
So I and then went to a ace hardware store to get ii more bolts and wrapped those bolts in teflon and plugged information technology. Now that the port are plugged I should be able to use total boost, super eagered I hop on the interstate, dial it in 3rd *bleh* ability reduced....Feeling very bellyaching.
And then the side by side day my bimmergeeks cablevision came in which mean MHD fourth dimension and a real scanner , and so I at present take the MHD stage one+ to compliment the mods posted (armed motor sports inlet pipes upgraded for intercooler posted) so now the codes are scanned and cleared an my guess was information technology needed to exist difficult cleared again now with the ports plugged * fingers crossed* initial feeling, 1st gear volition yank y'all if your not ready * noted* . Enter 3rd gear -the moment of truth- *punches information technology* pulls difficult all the manner until 4.five then *bleh* ability reduced *feeling defeated*
Here'south the weird part.....
So while I was out I decided to terminate by the store (note, when I cut the automobile off and then back on the car is dorsum to "normal " i.e power isn't reduced)
Got what I needed and so it was pretty muggy today and then I decided to cut the ac on, I'm headed to the traffic lite make a turn and just for shits and giggles I dial it in 3rd and..*wait for information technology* IT MAKES ALL THE Boost! I'm planted in my seat, my wife'south dislocated as hell an my kids where similar "what was that!! I couldn't motion!" This was the second time information technology'south done this only because the ac was on.....
Welp, that's where I'm at guys...I'm baffled. The only 2 codes I become are posted below
Thanks again guys, sorry that was suppose to be short but I figured the more than descriptive I go the amend picture painted. Another notation* sorry* what gauges do you lot guys think is necessary to always have monitored on your mhd.
