Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 07/01/13 03:37 AM Share Posted 07/01/13 03:37 AM Just for not getting a tune after installing an intercooler?So much information on this forum for you to read up on. I'm continually amazed people still do things like this. put you car in a high gear and drive up a hill so it is under load, and if it sounds like a diesel it will most likely be pingingIf it does that then the damage is probably already done or not far off. SCT, your car is stock. It won't be pinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be pinging.No need to get angry, just asking a question about some advice given to me in the thread. I already did read up on the issue of intercooler without tune and cant recall anyone saying that it can seriously damage your engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
