I just have a very good tune, through a reputable tuner and I told him I want it to be a nice smooth boost ramp.

I am going to do this e85 or e47 tune before Xmas. Is my car going to have a hard time starting with negative temps?

it will have a very had time starting in the cold if you do e85. with e47 it shouldn't be such an issue.

All depends on the tuner. But e85 is def more difficult. OP buy HPtuners and a mid-level laptop and get a gas tune and an e47 tune. Run the gas or stock tune for the winter then switch in the spring. I know for a fact Toledo winters are not nice enough to want to run a e47 tune all winter nor will you get the correction traction

I have a PCM i'll sell for 125 from an LNF. Although if you buy HPTuners and a computer then you wouldnt need 2 PCMs you can just load the different tunes, takes all of 60seconds maybe. 5 minutes if you include computer boot time and loading the program

Yes it must be off an LNF.

I don't know if years matter, since I bought a 2009 ECU and it worked fine once the dealer flashed it to my VIN.

[QUOTE=leemanfor;7429306]almost 100k on my car.

Stock transmission
stock block
stock clutch.

ZFR @ 24 psi for Winter. e47 at 28 psi for Summer.

Only isse, no traction.[/QE]

So when u switch over to the e-47, does it feel like a completely different car?
