I usually hover at around 0.96 on the LTFT during normal driving but when I come to a stop and idle it tends to drop lower to around 0.92-0.94. What kind of numbers on the LTFT might indicate a leak?
I would look at a change in numbers rather than absolutes. For absolute numbers your are fine. But if you see a big change above 5% then consider the possibility of a leak.
Hey guys, I'm planning to purchase this tune with Accessport but I need to gather up the supporting mods beforehand.
List includes the Cobb or Uni downpipe, R8 coilpacks, plugs and a upgraded diverter valve.
Is a CAI necessary? Any other recommendations?
Thanks for any input.
I recommend the DV, The DV+ does not open under boost while all OEM variations do. Remember that you can always get a tune update when you install modifications down the line or change fuels.
My LTFT are around 1.04-1.06 when driving and can rise a decent amount at idle. What does this indicate? Running a bit rich I'd assume, but does this mean anything more that I should be concerned about?
I'm COBB Stage 2 Stock MAF and I may get a flash tune with a custom calibration to get everything perfect.
Again these look in range. Look for big changes that happen all of a sudden.
Getting prepared to pull the trigger on a Cobb/Stratified Tune.
Last thing on my list is a new DV. Should I go with a GFB DV+ or OEM latest revision?
I recommend the GFB. The OEMs all leak. I put a video together about this:

stupid question time: when it comes to getting a downpipe, with respect to how it will work with this tune... does brand matter? I've tried doing some reading on this but cant find anything that says one way or the other. obviously brand matters with quality of the part but would it have that big of impact on how well the tune works?
The tune can be adjusted via a modification/fuel update. At that point we rebuild the tune to the spec of the new parts regardless of what they are. Quality parts are of course better overall, not just from a tuning perspective. Fit, finish, longevity all play a role in the lifespan of the part.
I've only been on my flash tune for 24 hours, but wow I didn't expect to feel such a big difference over the Cobb stage 2 OTS MAP. Really woke the car up, I'm surprised by the power it puts down with so little work. I have a catted billy boat turbo back and once it's warmed up the pops and backfires when letting off in the upper rev range are huge lol. Little bit worried about my cat, might end up using mainly the non crackle map but damn it's fun lol. Overall very happy with my purchase so far.
Glad you're enjoying it! The only effects we've seen from crackles is resonator packing that can be blown out a bit more. Have not seen catalyst damage.
Got my sticker this week. No idea how it ended up being routed to the new house. I haven't even told anybody I've moved yet.
Nice, glad it made it!
