Hi, If i get the programming cable does putting the amps up from 15amps to 18amps on a BBS01 250w turn it into a 350w in a 250w case? Oh! and mine is a BBS01b does that make any difference?

AFAIK the BBS01 in 250 or 350 form uses the same motor and probably the same windings. I think the only difference is the amp programming set at the factory and the legal 250w marking at 15a. I'm sure someone else may know a bit more so I may be wrong.

@Nealh you are correct. It remains a 250W motor because that is what is engraved on the case. It will have a bit more oompf, 648 W peak, 756 W battery hot off the charger.

Bafang also make a 250 W motor that has a 1200 W peak (48 V x 25 A)...
