I have one. I love the performance, I've had it for about 18 months now I think. Don't have official dyno numbers but I noticed a big difference. Now for the bad news...some c43s will be sensitive to the tune and throw a CEL caused by the boost pressure sensor. Dinan customer service has been great and they sent me a new one to try but same issue. The thing is it never stays on for long and is off probably 95% of the time. I don't really care if it comes on here and there in comparison to the feel of the tune. They were willing to refund me but i decided against that and kept it. Again, most cars won't trigger the CEL but my car seems to affected.

I agree with you I had the Dinan Elite for about 1 year now. It will throw CEL caused by boost sensor and after a while it the CEL will be gone. And sometimes came again and be gone. Like over and over. I took the Dinan elite off went to the dealer. They even replaced the boost sensor for me. But the CEL still will come on and gone. I can deal with it. But if I can find a buyer for my Diana Elite I will sell it. I will go for AMR.

New problem all of a sudden after 18 months of use, I'm losing my boost every so often. It has to do with the same boost pressure sensor
issue. It rarely happens but when it does, it's a big problem. Dinan are sending me a 3rd tuner to try but I'm pessimistic about different
results. I'm going to give it one last shot and then change tunes if the same problem persists.
