Anyone installed this BOV?

What's a level 1 tune? An off-the-shelf map? Couldn't you just keep your AMS 80mm w/sleeves?

Or... Buy once cry once and go straight to the custom tune! Then you can sell the boxed intakes and the TruControl to offset some of the cost!

So I decieded to go with Sonic Tune recommended to me by AMS. His level 1 Tune is pretty much an OTS tune. Cannot do a Level 1 Tune with the AMS 80mm even with the sleeves inserted!. How much does that suck? I was trying to stay away from going to the Custom Tune simply because it is my first tune and thought maybe the OTS would ease me in "to the tuning life" and perhaps less strain on the car. I can easily add the custom tune just by paying the difference when I'm ready. So that works out okay. I was thinking get the OTS then maybe a month later could get the Custom Tune. But I'm not 100% that I want the Custom Tune. Thinking that maybe by going OTS would be less "strain". Though I'm not really sure that it is less strain.

Im not ready for a tune, maybe next year or the year after with Sonic. The boosted6 intakes or the AMS 80mm are the direction I want to go. So in the meanwhile I was leaning towards the AMS with the sleeves. Just wanted some first hand real world experience on any issues running those stock until im ready.

I really like them. A lot. Very bummed after I took them off and went back to Boxed CAI. Can't wait to get them back on. No tune needed on the AMS w/ sleeves. Can't speak to the boosted 6. But I ran the AMS w/ the Stillen Tru Control. Great fun

I noticed last week that AMS no longer offers Z tuning! Any idea why?

IMO, go straight to the custom tune so all the parameters are dialed in specifically for your car and desired setup. OTS maps always leave something to be desired (I'm having COBB AccessPort flashbacks...).

AMS got so backed up by demand that they are currently on hold with their remote tune. In-house tuning only. I do know that before they suspended remote tuning they had a waiting list 3-4 months. They were my first choice for a tune...So, you think I should just go straight to the custom? Actually I was going to ask you what you thoughts were on the subject.

Edit: When I said less strain. I was talking about demands on the car. Custom vs OTS? Also when I think about it again. It may have been a 2-3 month waiting list....But you get the idea.

I would. OTS maps always leave something to be desired as they're just not ever quite right as a "one size fits all" solution.

Yes i will most likely go straight into a custom tune as ill need Sonic Tuned help as I have a 25 Performance.

Out of curiosity, why are you guys going SonicTuned rather than RaceBox?

The decision was easy for me to do a custom dyno tune since my office at the time was only 10 minutes away from RaceBox's shop.

Seems like these are the two biggest remote tuning players, too.

Lol in im Canada. So remote it is!

Racebox, Sonic Tune and SoHo Tune. Those were the three that I kind if narrowed. it down to. Mark is the owner/operator at Sonic has a strong background and AMS recommended him. Otherwise I was going Racebox None of them are anywhere near me.
