Warranty up in Dec. Tune now or after?

ByeFelicia · 10-14-2019, 04:38 PM

Already purchased a license with bootmod3 and the wifi agent is in route.

Should I just wait till the warranty is over this Dec and then flash.

Or just say F it and flash a couple months before?

Looking to go stage 2 as i'm already catless dp's full exhaust.

My history/relationship is good with my SA and overlooks most if not all mods I do.

Lol all caps must be a strong opinion.

Tell me why.

gatorfast · 10-14-2019, 07:04 PM

Well you already bought the software so you may as well load it up lol

Kooch · 10-14-2019, 07:10 PM

You have already modded so why wait? Bm3 is a great add.

ByeFelicia · 10-14-2019, 08:25 PM

I bought it at a great 2nd owner rate so thats why I jumped on it.

100% so far to just do it lol.

Did any of you guys do your plugs when tuning?

M2 Pilot · 10-14-2019, 08:31 PM

Patience,Grasshopper. It's only 2 months.

Gotcha, im wondering if doing mine is necessary.

N1rve · 10-15-2019, 10:44 AM

Thinking about this logically:

In the worst case scenario, if your car is going to break, it's going to break regardless if you're in warranty or not. If you're in warranty, there may or may not be a chance that a warranty claim will be covered. If you're out of warranty, there's no chance it will be covered.

I see no reason at this point with 2 months left, if you 100% plan on tuning sooner or later, why you wouldn't just tune it now. Slim chance of warranty coverage is better than no chance of warranty coverage. Anything unrelated to the powertrain can still be fixed under warranty, regardless of the tune. There's zero benefit to waiting from what I can come up with.

Do it

ByeFelicia · 10-15-2019, 11:48 AM

Alright folks, most of y'all saying to pull the trigger lol. I was leaning towards this.
Who can tell me if upgrading/replacing to NGK spark plugs is a must if going stage 2?

chewbakam4 · 10-15-2019, 12:49 PM

I’d really only replace plugs if misfiring or you have more than 35k miles on them.

ByeFelicia · 10-15-2019, 12:52 PM

Understood, thanks for your insight. chewbakam4

This.

I am on the OTS stage 2 E30 map with OEM plugs. Running great for 5,000+miles. Will only swap out plugs when necessary or if I upgrade the turbos.
