Any sort of pinging is bad, regardless of how much, pinging leads to knocking, which leads to the dark side, I mean blown engine!I don't know why anyone would put off a custom tune (fair enough if you don't have the cash at the time - who does) no one who has a custom tune regrets it - rant over - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idon't think you can really tell a difference anyway can you? The new mods you have planned will transform the car, Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
