I just had mine tuned by a local guy, shop is called RCP tuning. very satisfied, definitely woke the car up however now i seem to be losing power gradually. Doubt it has anything to do with the tune though.

yeah i am doing spark plugs this week. at 130k and not a whole lot of maintenance records, i probably should have done them off the bat. I plan the step colder plugs from NGK, probably gonna do BMC air filters at the same time.

What else do you have done to it? have you tracked it at all to see what it does in the 1/4?

DUDMD Tuning stage 1. Relatively conservative but definitely noticeable. With the age of the platform, I think stage 1 makes sense. about 10K miles now and no CEL or hiccups. Side note, gas mileage improved slightly also, that is when I'm not stomping on the gas.

Yea once u stomp on it forget it. When i went to mpact i got 9mpg

Currently running active autowerk stage 2. 611hp with crappy 91 gas

Did a few pulls today. crappy phone camera but you can zoom out and see the details. will be turning up the boost once i get a few thing dialed in. I highly recommend before a tune to check vacuum lines for leaks. Easiest way to know is doing a quick pull to 120ish with no fault. Also base on performance, the redesigned oem Mplugs are superior to the NGKs.

Frank Smith of tuning tech is the man.I highly recommend his costume tunes.

pdX5M · 08-20-2020, 07:22 PM

Running Velos Stage 2+. No complaints over the last ~15k miles.

Nice pull! Do you know the part number on those plugs? I'm about to replace my NGK's

Molez93 · 08-20-2020, 08:47 PM

Velos stage 2 tune for over 115k miles: 100k first owner, 15k me. No issues for me and none mentioned by the PO. It’s awesome.

Something expensive is going to “break” eventually, but only the timing chain guides (caught JUST early enough) have been a potentially catastrophic failure thus far.

This is with stock turbos? If so that's pretty amazing.

Downpipes?

Also do you mean 531hp or 611? The picture shows max 531whp

611 shows as engine power...I assume that's crank.

snowild · 08-20-2020, 09:22 PM

the part number for those Mplugs is 12120037581
