We got a few more things we can try on the tune file to get rid of it. Every car is different. You asked me to "max out those tables". I didn't. See you can't just max them out, they're learned values that still have to be close enough to learn within a certain window or that code will appear. By maxing them out, the car would have thrown the code almost instantaneously on startup.
We're going to try again... a little bit larger of a delay. We've tried roughly 30% over stock, 50% over stock, and 70% over stock. We're going to double it now and see how that does. Your heater duty cycle on the tune is jacked up higher, and we've widened the range in which the o2 sensor transport is learned in the tune as well. So, we'll hope it just needs a little more delay.
Wrapping the headers is a pain in the ***, but will make it so I can add as little as 30% to the transport delay, instead of having to trick the car into thinking it's even farther away just because the headers dont hold heat well.

Just another example of Chris bending over backwards trying to help. I have an idea. Call sct and have them remote connect to ur car. That should fix everything. lol ( inside joke for others)

Don't get me wrong, I am the first to admit that Chris can be extremely difficult to get a hold of, and sometimes he will promise you 'it will be done today' and it isn't. But it does get done. Bottom line is, when push came to shove and my car was strapped onto the dyno, he sent me four tune file revisions in the space of 1 hour, thus remote tuning the car while it was actually on the dyno and saving me the cost of multiple visits. If you think this is not particularly impressive, factor in the small detail that I am in the UK and there was also a 6 hour time difference to work around.
So yes, he can be a little difficult to get a hold of and sometimes he takes a little longer to get stuff out than promised, but I put that down to the fact that he is extremely busy, due to the fact that he is extremely good at what he does. I think that is a small sacrifice to make. Certainly at the time I needed him most he came through for me and that is the reason I would not hesitate to use him again , or recommend him to any of my friends.

I can vouch for this. I bought a custom TVS tune from CR which arrived in my in-box as promised. I datalogged and had tune revisions sent to me at least four times, all arriving in timely fasion.

Yup, evertime I'm there the phone won't stop ringing. They only have 4 guys there, Harry behind the counter Chris T and Mike as mechanics and CR for all the rest like ordering, tuning, pricing and all the other BS................

CR, I called the shop looking for information on a email tune. I am installing Kook long tubes, x-pipe with high flow cats and a steeda CAI. Everyone is telling me i need a custom tune but dont have the money right now. Will your tune be able to get me up and running under safe conditions? Also i just saw something you wrote able delete plates, would i need these?

He'll be able to get you a tune no problem. I had my engine built by them and at the time dyno tuned, since then I have added Kooks 1 3/4" LT's and 3" catted H mid-pipe and he just updated my tune and emailed it over to me. Works like a charm. He's got plenty of experience tuning the Kooks set-ups as well as various CAI's.

Give me a shout if you'd like me to address your concerns. You can absolutely just input the information on the website, and I'll assure you the tune will be safe. However, we usually like to be a tad bit more of a personable company, and at least address your concerns first!
