Itās been phenomenal! I will install the throttle body inlet and call it quits for now. However, I still need the compensating tune. I donāt believe it is hitting the 20 pounds of boost that is claimed without the tune. The only reason I know this is from monitoring via my OBD 2 scanner...
I had the TK500 installed today. The performance is amazing, and I barely had the opportunity to really put it through its paces. The sound is completely different as well. With every update, I have asked myself, how can it get any better? Yet, I still need the compensating Stage 3 tune, so...
Have you tried disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for about 5 minutes to clear the codes? I installed my CAI from SXTH well before obtaining a tune. Also, clean the MAF with MAF cleaner.
Double check that all pipes are snug and clamps are tight. I simply took the filter out to clean it, and it threw codes. I also had a pipe come loose and was a bit embarrassed to take it into the dealership to have them identify the root cause. The dealership did not charge anything and wrote...
I really didnāt pay much attention to the Zerk fittings when I changed the differential and transfer case fluids. I guess I will be doing this along with taking a look at spark plugs this weekend.
Dang! Iām 56 and hoping this will be the last new vehicle, but you are giving me second thoughts. Maybe one moreā¦. I do hope I will be able to drive at least into my 80s.
I just ordered a smoke test kit. I am awaiting the TK500 to install both at the same time. When installed, I will smoke test.
I received the email regarding the delays and subsequently received the turbo inlet. I can attest to SXTH standing behind their products. The hot side of my charge...
I did all of these plus an oil change and a transmission drain and fill over the course of two Saturdays. Heavy duty vehicle ramps, an oil pad, fluid pump for quart bottles, 2.5 gallon drain mate and brake cleaner were all beneficial. I also purchased a vacuum fluid evacuator and filler set...
I am hoping someone from OTT will chime in here to make it absolutely clear how the tuning stages work. My understanding is that itās aftermarket parts like these that get you beyond the first, Stage 0.

People will argue you down and laugh at you for saying higher octane gives you the best HP. However, I have yet to meet a tuner who wonāt tell you that the best performance comes with higher octane, but I had one who said theres negligible difference between 93 and 100 (race fuel).
