As long as you're running the fuel it was tuned for you'll be completely safe on a proper tune.I've done over 26,000kms now, edited since 11,800kms. Bought the car last December. Zero tune probs.In fact, the ONLY probs I've had is the diff bush flogging out Edited 03/11/06 08:09 PM by SavageD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I did reset the thing a week before I did this. I think inst average on the freeway was 9-10l/100km on my BF 6 speed manual with stock tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
