ARD tune o2 delete question

RyanT5 · Post by **RyanT5** » 04 Feb 2013, 13:44

Hey if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated. Im planning on ordering an ARD green tune for my s70 t5 as well as an OBX tubo back system. I want the tune burned with the o2 delete. My question is if i install a tune with o2 deleted but have not yet purchased/installed the aftermarket catless exhaust will this cause any issues?

it shouldn't, iirc the rear o2 is only used to check cat efficiency

Ok thats what i figured but wanted an outside opinion. Last question (forgot to mention in first post) if i have the tune burned for a car that already has 3" downpipe, etc will it be safe to drive with the stock exhaust until i get it put on?

Correct, you can rear 02 delete as you like.

As for running a tune on the car without the parts installed, you can do it but the boost will likely be slightly less than target until the upgraded parts are installed

Hey as long as I'm not causing damage to my motor I can deal with not hitting target boost for a few weeks

Thanks a bunch that answers my question!

I had the exact same setup on my Platinum, you're going to love it.

I'm excited! already love the car stock, but it could use some extra pep

just happened across some extra income, think I'll be ordering from ard in the next day or so!

Thanks lucky! Just remembered yesterday ive still gotta get the car registered so im gonna wait for my taX return before dropping the money for a tune, but the good news is ill have money for additional toys on top of the tune!

Tax refunds are going to be at least a month late this year. In case you weren't aware.
