If not then don't install till you do have a way and a base tune.
Yes, ordered the Ecutek yesterday from CSG and arrived today. I just sent over the car info to Zach.

Hahah, I appreciate the offer :P. You seemed busy with the track prep.

I didn't need to massage the skid plate for my install YMMV.

From memory one or two of the nuts where the header meets the heads won't be accessible easily with a torque wrench. Getting the exact torque isn't critical though.

I was able to re-use existing hardware with my installation but I live somewhere that never snows so again YMMV.

As mentioned above you will need a tune with this header. I haven't seen an OFT optimised tune floating around so a reputable Ecutek tuner will be the way to go. If you are getting an E-tune make sure your tuner has tuned a car with this header before as the cam timing needed for it to run well is unique to this header.

ah. Yeah..just wanted to make sure the nuts didn't back out lol.



QQ: Do people leave their OBD2 Ecutek bluetooth adapter plugged in? or take it out after using it?
