Thanks SilverArrow and gtman.

I’m thinking I’ll run stage 1 over the winter (in other threads, it seems owners keep it easy over the winter, especially warning about making sure the car is warmed up).

Then maybe stage 2 until I learn more about tuning and get used to ktune. And then starter once i somewhat know what i’m doing.

Some additional questions:
Will stage 2 kill your tires? I’m not bringing it to the strip or anything but I do notice if I try to accelerate from stop harder on stock my tires (sometimes I face that busy intersection/need to turn in faster than usual scenario),

I hear my tires slip sometimes. I’m planning to upgrade tires to something a little better after stock tires are worn. Any recommendations? Not racing, just looking to get more grip and be able to support the additional performance and acceleration.

Thanks!

Hi, i also hear my tires slip.
I think the solutions could be:
- more performing tires
- adjustments not too aggressive for:
turbo spool
turbo responsiveness
boost target ramp rate

trying to revive this thread haha but do you upload the different tunes to the actual obd2 plug in unit or the device you have tuner view on?
