Onpoint Good work!

Was dyno tuned last year and shortly after had to replace my actual supercharger unit.

This year, with a replacement unit installed I am seeing frequent check engine lights, some related to cat due to headers and one that was sensor related and probably a mechanical issue. Anyway I set an appt with Sasha at Onpoint to switch off any cat related codes caused by my headers and he recommended possibly a 1 hour road tune.

In preparation I cleaned my MAF which it turned out was filthy from oil from a leaky oil cooler I had used. It appears the MAF cleaning solved the mystery code, there was an improvement in responsiveness immediately after when I drove the car too.

Sasha noted the calibrations for the car had changed quite a bit vs last year, and the car ran smooth. He said there was an area it leaned out but not dangerously. I will look for leaks at the header, overpipe etc this week. No harm tightening after 3 years or so.

The car now drives WAY better. Ten times more responsive. Worth the time and relatively minor expense compared to the original dyno tune.

Consider if you tune might need an hour or so touch up, mine made a huge difference.
