Terebro Member 170 Member For: 19y 11m 29d Posted 27/04/05 12:33 PM Share Posted 27/04/05 12:33 PM Apologies for my lack of knowledge in this field, but I need a little learning with regards to installing an edit and the ongoing maintenance of a vehicle with one fitted.Scenario:I get an edit installed and get it dyno tuned so its running tops. Then comes along the 12 month service which I have to get done at the dealership so they will tune it to the factory specs.So where does that leave the tune of the edit? Do I have to get it tuned AGAIN with the edit 'specs'? Or will I simple plug the edit back in and its back to its A1 dyno tune spec again and I can forget about it for another 6 months?Just need clarification on this somewhat basic arrangement.Thanks!

Best thing to do is store the stock tune and when you have to get it serviced download the stock maps and when you get it back download the tuned maps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17247-edit-servicing/#findComment-247351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats involved?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes, you can even pull over to the side of the road on your way home from the service. It's a simple task, don't even have to get out of the car, and takes about 3-4 mins of your time. You can change tunes as often as you like.

I talked to the head techo at my dealer and he said there's no problem with mods and warranty as long as they can prove your mods werent the cause. He said they look at it on a case by case basis anyway. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17247-edit-servicing/#findComment-247567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
