Basically it's a nice tune and pulls a lot harder than I thought it would. I'm gonna check the KR and AFRs and LTFT soon but I dont notice any problems. If I add a downpipe and intake would I still have a problem with the "learndown" feature? I'm assuming I would. But hopefully ZZP will retune the pcm when I do add some bolt-ons.
Learn down is gone with HPT but when you change parts you need to get the tune updated

Alright so this post is way off in left field and way off topic. What is a muffler delete? I keep hearing people talk about it and I'm really curious.

Yes I think so because that's how it's matched to your car, but I could be wrong.

Have a question that maybe you or someone else can answer regarding my 2010 colbalt SS turbo. I recently put on a catless DP with a 02 bug for the first day it did not throw my Cel. The second day it did throw my Cel, so I ordered a straight extension Defouler, do you think that will fix the cell fix I had the car diagnostic and the code was P0402 - meaning no cats.

By having this down pipe will this hurt my vehicle in any way or is this actually better for the stock turbo?

If I decide to tune it will that affect all the other stock parts in the vehicle. Or will I have to start upgrading the Pistons the fuel injectors etc?

The tune will help you add the power benefits of any mods you do to do car plus make it run alot better. Also depending on the tuner. You don't have to upgrade the injectors or pistons unless your planning to make big power on the car and that's probably doing a turbo swap etc

Do your research on tuners and you'll be really safe no need to rebuild and some offer free retunes

Yup that's a great example you don't need to upgrade ^ but if you want alot more than that then upgrading wouldn't be a bad idea
