N54 Procede v5... thoughts?

Sure seems to be some fuckery.

UPDATE 2:
I am no longer fucked! I made a nice friend from Montreal on e90post and he sent me the vin unlock .bin file and it's awesome!
I took it for a drive after letting her warm up and once I approach 8psi the power immediately cut. I drove it for a few minutes just thinking that the auto correct had to catch up to the same result. Then I found out what limp home mode is... I data logged the event and looked up the codes but nothing would cause what happened. I turned the car on and it was fine but I heard a loud tick from under the hood... pop the hood and listen... coming from passenger side...
...
...
pop off valve cover and find that a FUCKING MOUSE HAS MADE A NEST!!! Start vacuuming and discover a few nibbles injector wires. I'm going to dig in tomorrow night and see exactly what I'm dealing with.
At this point though I am happy that I have an unlocked PROcede.

Did you delete your cat? Mice are more prone to inhabit locations lacking the presence of a cat.
Still have my cat's... it was a brave mouse! Especially to nest in a car that's been daily driven!

glad you at least got it functioning. Time for FBO status!

I'll get there! I'm giving myself the next 18 months to accomplish that. It sounds like a lengthy amount of time but I figure with my new position at work recently consuming a lot of my time and the baby coming at the end of May, my time and my bank account will be stretched until I can adjust.

Well, someone from PROcede finally emailed me back last night. They are now operating under OFT instead of PROcede but good news is they will unlock any PROcede units for FREE!
So I now have 2 unlock files in my possession if anyone decides to go that route or you know someone who needs it.

yea i feel your pain man. The forum poll favored coilovers instead of a turbo upgrade for my car, which I think I'm in agreement with, but I just dropped 1500 on a fucking puppy. I'm thinking coils may have to wait until 2016.
Luckily you can get to FBO for relatively cheap. My first go around with the N54 I spent more money than I should have - bought the full Cobb kit with intercooler, and dropped 900 on lightly used akrapovic downpipes (they retail for 1600).
I've since learned to become a huge fan of VRSF and saved a ton of money for my N55. I've got both their downpipe and IC. Since you already have the procede, you should be able to get used BMS DCI for like 60 bucks, VRSF downpipes / 7" intercooler for 800, then just throw on an exhaust of your choice.

VRSF is the spot. Great fit and finish and sweet price.
-
$1500 on a puppy!?!? I paid less than that for both of my dogs combined!!!
VRSF has been on my radar and I think that's what I will end up going with for the IC and downpipes unless I find a great deal on something else used. The car came with the BMS DCI so that is one less thing I need to worry about.
As far as an exhaust goes, I was thinking about doing the PE mod on my mufflers and calling it a day. I bought a welder and got a 33 gallon compressor for christmas so I am all set up for cutting and welding in my garage.

then I would say you have 0 excuse to not be Stage 2 by the time roads are clear for spring. Because basically you're telling me you only need to frontload 1000 bucks or less and you're done.
Get on it. Your life will never be the same !!

How were the wiring repairs?Glad to hear you got it going though. I will be looking for you in a ditch along I43 today
It was pretty simple. Just the one injector and it wasn't chewed through the copper so easy enough.
And you might find me in a ditch off of i90 or the belt line near Madison but not i43! My escape just became my main mode of transport unless my wife needs to use it.
