Just wondering if you have seen any cases where a generic tune hasn't caused any problems or has proven to be a safe short-term option? CheersNormally the generics I see are not that great which is why they are probably on the dyno due to the owner being suspect, most appear to be quite lean in the top end because they exceed what the injectors are capable of, but there are plenty of people out there with generics that have had no issues.A bad initial tune, wheter generic or custom, can do damage that may show later on when things are pushed a little harder.You would be wise to get your tuner to do a tune to get the car running and limit the power/revs until you can do it properly. If you can't afford a correct tune now, how will you pay for an engine if things went wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what makes you feel that that is useful information? When everyone with experience is saying otherwise?UONCRACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the information here is useful to me, whether it's what I'd like to hear or not - that's why I started the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan isn't for things to go wrong (!!), but from what I've read so far it's looking like that can't be predicted. Probably looking like a custom tune is the only way to go! Thanks for all the advice, it's much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
