It's probably been asked before, I recently went back to stage 2 tune with the Akra catted x-pipe and got a code while driving for insufficient something for the cat, just deleted the code and kept driving. It's just the system detecting there's a cat delete, right?

Same here..running Akra Evo exhaust with Stage 2 tune. The code came up a couple times last year., cleared the code and no longer having the code come back. I thought one of the o2 sensors was going bad but all seems good now. No idea on what was the issue. I only have 35k miles on the car.

Has anyone had luck contacting him lately? I've been trying to get a coding session scheduled but haven't heard anything back regarding my scheduling requests.

My understanding, most 'generic' Stage 2 tunes intended for cat-less configs irrespective of AM brand since cat inputs to ECU are altered, 'coded out' for emissions, error codes, etc ...may be incorrect With that, indicates Stage 1 likely best suited with AM HFCs, retaining an OEM primary cats coupled with AM axle back configs. Can confirm, cat-less dual or quad resonated X-pipes work with Stage 2. AM Tuner can validate...A key input Alex requests is 'your specific' config to obtain proper tune files, feedback etc [i.e. cat-less, X-pipe type].

I don’t need to flash my DCT GTS transmission tune back to stock prior to loading Stage 1 tune, right?
Per Alex’s email instructions: “The DCT Flash must be installed after the motor tune. Please make sure to flash the motor tune first then proceed to flashing the DCT.” I already have the DCT GTS tune installed though. Sorry if dumb question and thanks in advance. |

Is it necessary to “Read ECU Memory” per Alex’s instructions, prior to flashing?
What car data does it backup? Anything I’d ever need? |

Second drive after installing Stage 1… on start up, the redline/rev limiter started down at 4000 or 4500 as if in limp mode, instead of 6000. Car warmed up as normal and limiter eventually reached standard 8400.
Is this typical? Not really an issue I guess just curious. |

Indicators act to visually 'warn' driver to prevent over revs until engine reaches safer operating temps. High rev rips when 'cold' are certainly possible ==> at your own peril; longer-term engine damage inevitable. Limp Mode - Completey different behavior. > Characterized by CEL, DME messages, warning 'bongs', etc. In this case, the DME PREVENTS power and revs beyond ~4K

> Time to complete ~40-45min [not a big deal to do]Reversion to OE tune - For example, can be particularly favorable when experiencing more complex and/or simultaneous engine, sensors, DME errors and codes...removes the variable of an AM Tune being causal factor to diagnose, remedy issues.

Completely understood. But every other time I've started the car prior to the install of the tune, the reduced level began at 6000 rpm and climbed from there as the car warmed up. I know I wasn't in limp mode this time, but the only other time I'd ever seen the indicator that low was in limp mode. And yes, I always allow the car to fully warm up prior to any spirited driving/high rev rips. It's my baby so I'm very conscious of that. |

Here's mine...a quick pic heading out this afternoon; ignition On w/o engine start-up.Point is...sounds like nothing to fret over. Enjoy the tune! BTW - Running Alpine Stage II for ~3yrs; previously began w/ Stage I circa 2019 ...best of all, 'smiles/gallon' exponentially better than ever
