Do you guys already have your winters on? I just bought some but thought I'd put them on in a month or so.

too bad there are no good tuners in Edmonton, would be a lot more convenient instead of putting on like 600km of a boring highway 2 drive

Haha alright! Don't install your header until you have your tune ready so you won't have to deal with a CEL light

The more I think the more I will do an open flash tune with a Open Flash Header. Pay some mechanic a few bucks to put the header on and flash tune my car myself. If I can get rid of or reduce the torque dip I will be a happy man with this car.

I may go that route as well. If you in Calgary we could just do em in the driveway. I've done this kind of thing plenty of times

Ya we were talking about that the other day at the coop. The tactrix cable method doesn't actually look to be all that bad
