Yeah the DIs aren’t removed on this job only PI. The early 2013s had a bug in the transient ignition retard map where the table is all zeroed out in the upper revs. What happens is when shifting at high RPM (anything over 6k) it doesn’t pull timing on the transient which causes detonate and eventually destroys the DI seals. I’m guessing this is what they are referring to on his car. This problem was fixed mid 2014 and the TIR tables were actually revised again in 2017. I got my car with 83k miles on it and within the first week of ownership I got a Tactrix cable so I could check/update my CAL and sure enough my car was on the original CAL. When I rebuilt my engine I replaced my DI seals (only $3 each) just as a precaution but they were in great shape. I guess this is a sign that the previous owner of my car never ran it hard. The typical symptoms of failed DI seals are described as “fireworks”.
