I just received my X-cal2 and K&N intake with custom tunes from Brenspeed, couldn't be happier with their service. I was reading through the instructions that came with the X-cal and it says I first have to disconnect the fuel pump and electric fan fuses before loading the tune. I always thought you could just plug it in and load them. Is this really necessary?

 

I didn't and everything loaded fine. I believe that was needed for older vehicles.

 

It was a problem on certain older cars. I didn't remove anything and have not had any issue flashing my car. And I don't expect to, either.

I did. It takes 2.5 seconds to do like the directions say. I think there was a concern about the fuel pump or fan coming on and corupting the tune.

 

05gt, whose the lovely lady in your pic?

anyway...Does the owners manual tell you which fuse it is?

 

That is only for older models. As long as you have a healthy battery there is no need to.

 

no need to pull the fuses.

 

That's a pic I got when my car was being shot for a magazine. She's pretty hot, but I was a little freaked out when she kept rubbing herself over my paint... that swimsuit had something shiny on the straps...

:crazy: I know, I've got issues :crazy:

Yes, the manual tells you which fuses they are.... they're under the hood. It might not be necessary, but I dont' know what exactly the reason was and figured better safe than sorry.

 

Here's a thread from a couple weeks ago about this:

I removed mine. A total of 4 fuses. 3 big ones, and a micro fuse.

Why not, especially if the instructions say to.
