Say you flash back to stock after an aftermarket tune since you need warranty work. I assume that before you flash your tune, you'd take a backup of your stock tune. Does that backup include the key turns so that if you have to revert to stock, you're not left with 0 key turns?
According to the...
Ah so that's how you describe that 1-2 feeling. It feels like I'm jamming something into the synchro which you can feel spinning. I thought it was just me.
I think that's the wrong compressor. I used this exact one and didn't have a problem: https://www.autozone.com/loan-a-tools/loaner-strut-spring-compressor
I'm with you on the bolts though. I'm going to get some new hardware when I do struts/shocks since I had to beat the crap out of one of the...
Not sure where that came from. They say "Unless fasteners are corroded or damaged, do not discard fasteners as shown in pictures."

Nope, not that I could find and believe me, I've researched this for a looooonnng time. I had the "tick" which the dealership diagnosed as an out of spec rod bearing and I got a short block out of it. I think actual problems like mine end up getting lumped into the "tick" bucket.

I guess I should rephrase my question a bit. Say on a completely stock car, why do some tuners want bigger injectors yet other tuners say you're fine with the stock injectors?
How did you get the knock and timing stats to pull in Torque? Are there special PIDs or something? I tried doing this a few months ago, but couldn't get any of those readings to pull through.
That doesn't sound a whole lot like mine to be honest. If you can feel it then it points to something rattling around. If you're really worried about it, then go to the dealer and tell them to fix it, covered under warranty or not. That way you'll pay if it's something rattling around or they'll...
From what I had heard, they're looking for ridiculously unreasonable turns, like say you have 50 or so turns with 25,000 miles. That doesn't really add up.
I've seen a few cases where people got denied due to tunes on WRX forums. The dealership said they knew that the ECU had been modified...
The thing I find interesting is on page 17. It basically says the only way they can tell the ECU was modified is based on key turns. I had a WRX before this and it was a hotly debated topic, but my research showed that they went off key turns as well.
AC would've been hard to prove so I didn't mention it. I just let the exhaust go. Didn't want to potentially burn a bridge from something relatively minor.
Took it in today and turns out the tech forgot to do the crank relearn. Glad it was just that simple. Motors runs pretty good and feels like it has more power. I noticed that I needed way less throttle cruising in 6th on the highway. I wouldn't be surprised if the tick was setting off the knock...
I'm leaning towards giving them the benefit of the doubt. I just reviewed all the dash cam footage and the tech treated the car pretty well and did go on a good test drive after the swap. They also ran the motor for around 30 minutes before that so you would've thought he'd have noticed it if it...
Got it back today and the check engine light was on. It's throwing P0300, P0302, and P0308 - misfires in cylinders 2 and 8. Along with that, my exhaust tips are all jacked up and sagging and the AC isn't working as well as it used to. I expected to get it back a little messed up, but Jesus, not...
