HELP: Buying a USED KTUNER V1.2

[Velonici]

I've heard both sides of the BOV; it causes harm and it doesn't. I really just want the noise. But if I get an intake I should be able to achieve a similar noise. Idk, something about that sound. Could always sell it to someone else.

But $450 isn't bad for everything

Oh, @360glitch , what do you mean by "the discounted conversion option is only available to the original purchaser."

Sorry, it's late and I'm half asleep... a bit past my bed time

Depends on if you consider running rich every time you let off the throttle harmful or not. You are releasing metered air. Your ECU has accounted for that air in the air/fuel ratio. You now have less air than it thought and you will run rich. It was pretty cool when I had my MR2 since I could shoot some pretty awesome flames (BOV came with the car and I did get a stock valve and put it on after a couple of month). But I would not say that its healthy for the car.

Another vote against the BOV.
Also, I was told that they did not have to provide the tune for my car because, as already stated, that is a feature only for the original purchaser of the device. However, they did it for me with the assistance of the original purchaser. I think it might help to tell them you are active on this forum. They want to avoid bad press.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, I thought ALL mass produced vehicles run rich. Something about keeping everything lubricated or w/e.

I was taught it's better to run rich than it is to run lean.

Makes me curious how much metered air is actually escaping, and if the ECU struggles keeping fuel trim in specs.

If I put it on, I'll get some data logs of before and after... unless someone has already done the leg work

Hell, I could say I'm the original purchaser and their information is incorrect ?

The guy selling seems like he would help tho

I can see that working out well. Surely nobody has ever tried that before.

That aside, most "original purchasers" are happy to help out the new owner and we are glad to work with them to make that happen.

I should have mentioned... they are also active on the forum.
Appreciate all the support and participation here, @MAPerformance

Not that I know of. Running rich will build up lots of carbon. Even if they do run rich they wont be anywhere near what you would run if you have a BOV. In my MR2 it would dump enough fuel that I would shoot 3ft flames out the back when I would get on it.
