SydCrazi Member 141 Member For: 14y 6d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 19/06/15 02:22 AM Share Posted 19/06/15 02:22 AM Running mods of course, hence the original tune Was wondering what the standard amount of time is to let your car go before getting it re-tuned. Taking a wild guess, I would say you need to get your car re-tuned every 2-3 years to make sure all is good?(Obviously if you feel something wrong before then you would get that looked at) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the level of mods,how many KM's you do, your servicing regime and the tuners methods (ie disabling long term learned functions in the pcm)But ball park is every couple of years.

Or is that engine builds? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
