FGX 40T Legacy Donating Member 142 Member For: 16y 5m 25d Gender: Male Location: WA - South of the River Posted 06/08/12 10:52 AM Posted 06/08/12 10:52 AM I just had my FG XR6T tuned and I am very happy with the result. However, I noticed a slight vibration in the steering wheel after the tune. I asked the tuner about this and he said this is normal - they lifted the idle RPM to 700 to assist the power steering pump to compensate (lessen the vibration). Does this sound right. Anyone else had anything similar after tune?

Once up and running it is not noticeable. They up the idle to try and get rid of vibration and it did help a little (now 700 rpm) - but still there and annoying. Edited 10/08/12 08:11 AM by FG09T

Hmm!! There was no vibration before tune only after the car was tuned - not sure if this coincidence or other. Any help greatly appreciated. Edited 10/08/12 08:16 AM by FG09T

Mine does it, just comes down to the tuner scaling things correctly I guess?
