Newbie question about included tunes

[gtman]

Depending on the intake, you may want to get it custom tuned. Some throw off fueling pretty badly.

If I'm running an Afe Pro S Dry filter would I be ok keeping it or is it safer to put the stock filter back in? In other words, I assume the base tunes were designed to run best with a bone stock setup, right?

The rule is... If you're placing the MAF into another housing that's NOT the stock airbox, you should have the car custom tuned, since you're most likely changing the signal to the MAF.

Sticking a different filter in the stock box, adding a silicone intake arm in place of the corrugated arm, etc; it will not change the way the MAF is seeing airflow through it enough to call for recalibration.

Stock airbox/housing = any of the supplied maps will work fine.

Aftermarket MAF housing = tuning required.

Hi,

my ECU is on status "initial support", and i have loaded stage 2 tune.

Are the features about stage 2 (initial ecu support) equal about stage 2 (full ecu support)?

Thanks

Initial support generally means limiting settings / extra custom features.

Ok, but are the performance the same?

The boost levels are the same, you just have a few less extras (on the starter maps) that tweak driveability a bit. Even without the extras though, the difference with KTuner will amaze you. Great product.

As far as the "staged tunes", like Stage 2, they are virtually identical because those aren't really adjustable.

Thanks Gtman!
Today i tried the stage 2; over 3500 rpm my car is explosive, but under 3500 rpm i I didn't notice any big differences with the stock.

Depending on where your support is in terms of your ECU, the Starter maps can give you adjustments that can tweak your low end throttle and turbo response.

It is right, i will done it.

You should have quick adjustments even with initial support!

With map stage2 , not.
I see that quick adjustement are available for starter end user map only.

That's correct. The Stage maps are "legacy tunes" and not adjustable even with full support.

The Starter 21 will give you the same boost as Stage 2 but the quick adjustments and enables will get you beyond Stage 2.

Thanks again Gtman, i will done it.
