Flash back to stock for valve spring recall?
I'm currently running the catted FT86SF header along with an OFT tune and thinking about doing the valve spring recall so I can avoid paying for labor to change the spark plugs and to reseal a leaky timing chain cover.
Do I need to flash back to stock before bringing it in? |

Yes. Dealers aren't very happy if their scan tools don't work

Well if you're not running ecutek you're obviously not interested in making a 200hp car run like a 200hp car. I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer scolds you for using a shitty oft tune. Lol jk

FYI they will still charge you the same for any job that is not related to the recall. Just a heads up. It may or may not be lower. Not sure how much of penis your dealership is.

I'm running a stage 1 tune, have been for 2 years, and didn't flash to stock before I brought it in. Not only was it NOT a problem the tech said he dialed in one or two things that he felt the parameters were off. He's pretty hip to these things though which helped, I wouldn't count on it being that way at all dealerships but I don't htink you need to worry about it.
