Oct 25 2019

Malone stage 4 tune. He also checked static injection timing after recent timing belt job and set EGR function back to stock value. Also of note, the initial impression from the Malone tune is that there is less overall power than the Kerma tune had. More linear throttle response, but slower throttle response. Not as much pep. Possibly a little more smoke. If fuel economy goes up, it’ll be fine. If it stays the same or worsens, I feel as though the Kerma tune was better.
