Burble tune bad for motor?

I got a burble tune add on, on my E63S. I was wondering if over a long term this could cause issues? I also got my cats on, still need to get them gutted...

I would think that it could eventually damage the turbos. From what I understand, "burble tunes" just dump fuel on decel/closed throttle to let the fuel ignite in the exhaust...but I could be wrong???

Turbo damage and fuel wash on the cylinders are the biggest issue.

Turbo damage and Fuel Wash?! that sounds pretty bad! I might have to get that burble tune removed if that's the case, my car is at 117,000kms I don't want to put any extra pressure on it...!

I would stay away from any burble tune option.

it depends on the tune it has. On mine I don’t have it dumping fuel on decel. All a burble tune is, is retard timing for decel and some move the dfco (deceleration fuel cut off) to keep the injectors open longer on decel. But I haven’t had any knock issues so far. I’ve heard it isn’t bad for it but i guess I’ll find out for my self sooner or later
