![]() ![]() The good news is that access to all the ECU tables he needs to make the tweaks to finish up my tune is still available. He was forced to download the updated software last night and confirmed he no longer has the ability to turn off CEL's - so I will definitely have one because I'm running catless. They are quick (high 10 second cars), but the tune is not taking advantage of the extra flow of the turbos - there's a lot left on the table.Į40 tunes are still possible with COBB - that's what I'm currently working on with my tuner. I know a few people that are running APR's GTS kit with their TiAL turbos and they are about as quick as GTS turbos. They removed all of their "stage 2" maps that supported catless setups a few years ago and everyone freaked out. In fact, APR has been working with the EPA in certifying emissions compliant tunes for many years now. ![]() □APR will be the last company the tune out catless pipes. So how about APRs stage 3 as it stands right now, does anyone know if that tune would code out for catless pipes? or are they now on the same boat? crap this is so confusing, most of my bolt ons are on now, except upgraded turbos, and I had planned to go Cobb and pro-tune hoping for an E40 file, but this whole mess has me rethinking all my plans. I'm just not sure why they are taking an all or nothing approach instead of allowing exemptions for low-mileage drivers and all-out race cars that never see the street. EVs are not emissions free, contrary to what every Tesla owner seems to think once you plug them into the wall. I guess nobody realizes most of us don't put a ton of miles on a car in a year and, even catless, we pollute less in 5k miles than an EV that drives 15k miles in a year and has to use coal for electricity to charge every night. There should absolutely be a way they can provide tunes for an actual race car though, this is really an overreach from the government impacting private businesses. You may have to go a more mechanical route with O2 sims or the like to fool the ECU into thinking the O2s are reading properly, for example, vs turning the DTCs off in software. Hell I bought the v2 after they stopped making it, edgeautosport had 3 laying around they sold on the forum a couple years ago and at that time it was $275 brand new.Īnd the Stratified traction control is nice, not sure how nice as I had it for a week before taking my car in to the dealer to get my 3rd trans installed.but I have loved the way the v3 feels better built, and it is nice to have the gauges to look at to make sure your car is not acting weird, or you can figure out why it is being weird sometimes right away.Cobb told me the OTS tunes (stage 1 and 2) will not be affected so it's just the Protunes and only if they have changed any settings that have to do with changing/suppressing DTCs related to emissions. Plus if you ever want to sell it you have to find someone with a 2013, as the newer cars dont work with the v2, so it limits the market to almost zero at this time, and in another year, no one will probably think of getting an very old v2. The datalogging seems to activate faster, my v2 was slow when I would press the button. So if you change tunes often or ever need to it makes the process bearable. Everything is faster, changing tunes takes about 30 seconds on a v3 compared to almost 2 minutes with a v2. ![]() I saw get the v3, I recently upgraded to a v3 after having the v2 for years. ![]()
