i've had the cargraphic 1.2 tune and the 16/24 hybrid setup on this car for 13+ years that i know of. 11 of those on my watch.

never one single issue with tune. but i don't fiddle with it either.

 

as i just posted, i've never had an issue with my old cargraphic tune. replaced a clutch at 100k miles ( it didn't ever slip once with a hybrid turbo/tuned setup ) because my trans bearings needed replacing and i was in "there".

once i jumpered the clutch switch, i've never had one single spongy moment or issue with slave or accumulators.

more manual trans folks should look into that minor mod. before i did the "jump" to the switch, i had replaced slave once and accumulators twice. no more.

 

Those are good numbers that demonstrate a high degree of reliability. I cannot recall when Cobb came out with the X50 tune, but it has been on my car with similar reliability.

As it is just software we are talking about, a competent coder will be able to provide a reliable tune to any platform they are focused on; my 'Burban has been chipped for 19 years and nary a problem; Same goes for Acura - 23 years, and STI, 16 years.

Our cars are equipped with wide bands from the factory, this allows all the tuners to have greater resolution into how their changes are impacting the motors PDQ without have to stick a wide band in the tailpipe and get the car on a dyno.

 

this platform has had a sh*tton of aftermarket tunes from many providers large and small. cargraphic was very early to the platform, and i've been very lucky with this car.

inordinately so.

 

No issues with Kevins tune on my car

 

I see you like to tempt fate.

Historically, when I make a comment similar to yours, something tends to break shortly thereafter...

 

 

i'm not supertstitious if that's what you mean. but i am highly and innately suspicious.

i only "tempt fate" insofar as i'm alive.

 

For me, it starts of being suspicion and then grows into superstition the more it happens.

 

Getting close.

 

That looks good, a Europipe if my eyes don't deceive me...

 

new intercoolers en route... i've never met you but i like the way you think sir!!!

 

It's a sickness we will never recover from...

 

Affirmative. Bad timing however, we just demo'd the driveway............stuck in the garage for now.

 

Well, you know, they are 4wd cars...
