Max Capacity Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Read here, take notes, you'll learn more about how not to need to service manual. These cars need TLC, but give back great bang for the buck. Hint, get the car off the factory tune. It's not good for the car. My Tuner www.tuningalliance.com can help you with that. Hint 2, these cars like to be driven, they don't do well going short distances and then be shut off. Try to drive it at highway speeds or long enough to get everything hot and kept clean and moisture free. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Max Capacity Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm also one that dose not have a issue with redline. In fact my wagon was there in 3rd gear yesterday, even has decent pull in 4th gear. I don't believe in babying the engine. Both my cars see redline on a regular basis. Both are on custom tunes. You going to want to have that done. Both cars are very linear in power, with Cobb AP you can feel a kick when the car hit's boost. It's not a smooth transition. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 A open source tune will give you the smooth acceleration your looking for. My Tuner is trying to get a meet set up so he can meet more of the local guy's. He has a long background in tuning all kinds of cars. If you have Cobb AP ar have the cable and laptop he can send you a MAP. I'm very happy with the lastest tune he sent me for my wagon. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
