What maintenance items or things to "check" before DP/FMIC

babbagandu · 05-03-2014, 04:09 PM

I have a cobb stage 1 tune at the moment but am itching to go to stage 2.

My only concern is the cost of having to uninstall the FMIC and DP every time before going into the dealer for a warranty claim if something breaks. I don't have the means to do it myself so I'd have to pay to have them uninstalled.

So before I install the FMIC and DP, what should I do to make sure my car is in good shape beforehand? Are there any particular parts I should have inspected or any maintenance I should do to make sure I am "safe" as possible?

I am in the same boat and just got my DPs a week ago. I got new sparkplugs/oil at 5k miles ago and just had the turbos replaced last week. Injectors were done 18k miles ago.

Anything else I should be doing/have done before the DP go on?

Sorry for the threadjack OP but you should be fine with the FMIC only the DP might give you issues.
