I called up my tuner assuming this vocabulary was common knowledge and it seemed they had no clue what I was talking about. Either way, my tune has been awesome, they probably have different names for thing in Texas.

I have had a Eurocharged tune on my car for over 5 yrs. The latest version was installed over 2 years ago to accommodate mods. It is responsible for the results of everything in my signature. Its not a race tune, but responds very well to MS109 when I attend events.

Was it done at the Dyno Day in Va.? If so I was there and your car was putting down some awesome numbers.

Hey, yes I did attend that day in VA, but ended up with another update after I added the catless downpipes, cold air intake and trunk tank. That became a big difference.

As far as the downpipes, D.C. requires bi-annual emissions testing. Would I need to use downpipes with the cats or without?

If it is a tailpipe sniffer you would fail with catless and would require cats. If it's an OBD2 reading from the car's computer, it can be programmed to pass by turning off the rear O2s.
