NO!Have a read of the number of issues guys have when just using generic tunes.Some have good reults, many have mediocre improvements, and some develop issues which create hassles galore.Save your money up and arrange for a trip to a decent tuner and get it set up properly from the start. You'll be much more satisfied, at not only the real performance gain, but the improved reliability, driveability and improvement in economy when it is setup properly for your car.Custom tune will give you a real smle on your face, and peace of mind too.tom

crans Member 275 Member For: 20y 4m 21d Posted 15/11/06 12:06 PM Posted 15/11/06 12:06 PM Capa generics didnt run very well for me. 8 and 10psi maps surged alot.Im currently running a custom generic tune. car is very smooth but not as powerfull as I hoped had it dynoed and the afr are good so its safe.tunes cost me $150 I should have just paid the extra for a custom tune but at least its safe to run compaired to the capa tunes.

RAPHOON Legacy Donating Member 1,776 Member For: 23y 2m 27d Posted 16/11/06 12:38 AM Posted 16/11/06 12:38 AM My T ran great on to generic 10PSI map. I ran it that way for about 6 months.The cars have huge differences in them and the generic tunes may/may not work in your individual vehicle.The custom tune made a huge difference, though, and is well worth the money.
