So I just purchased the AMS wide mouth dp, Turboxs catted-test pipe and the Turboxs cat- back exhaust. Everything is installed on the car.. I have the Cobb AP. the tuner at the shop told me to not floor the car and to baby it he said the motor might blow. He also told me to continue to run stage 1 and not switch to stage 2 because its too aggressive. Is anyone running a similar set up... Any advice ..thanks..

 

I would go get it tuned ASAP..... the COBB AP is great so find somone who is an authorized tuner and do it.... for those few of upgrades you should be fine.with out a tune for a little bit with out smashing it.... but... i don't know about WOT..... but just get some more parts get it tuned then start smashing people

 

I would keep an eye on your AFR's and see what the car does. Mine is a 2012 with the mods listed in my sig and at WOT my AFR's are reading flat out 10.0. With a tune, you would benefit more from your bolt-ons, but your motor will not blow up.

Running extremely rich can eventually cause washed down cylinder walls. The rings ride on a film of oil. The gas will wash that oil away or dilute it and fubar the rings.

 

You should be fine. If you threw in intake, it's a different story.

 

Ya I'm waiting for the tune before I add an intake

 

You should add an intake then get it tune the same time.

 

I been running on a t1r wide mouth and Cnt catback for at least 2 years with no problem.

 

usually with a widemouth dp and no tune you get boost spikes.

 

Exactly this

 

yeah agreed add intake then tune

 

well I couldn't wait to buy the intake so I just went and got the car tuned.. Layed down 340 HP and 324 TQ.. car feels great.. and dont have to worry about hurting anything now..

 

so with out a tune the car will run lean or rich

 

From my base map with the exhaust installed with the Cobb Ap the car was running a bit rich

 

Tune is recommended for any change in the air flow.
