FAQ
Will tuning void my warranty?
Tuning can affect coverage depending on your dealer and region. Consult your service advisor before flashing.
Do I need supporting mods?
Not strictly, but an intake, exhaust, and healthy cooling system improve consistency as power increases.
Can I revert to stock?
Yes—save your OEM map before flashing so you can re-install it later with the same interface.
