@Its_Sooder that CEL can be cleared through the Cobb AP by the tuner.
Yeah, I got that bit figured out that the tuner has the ability to clear error codes.

The problem I'm currently experiencing, cat-less down-pipe is throwing CEL.

Need to adjust the positions on the O2 sensors, cp-e down-pipes came with two positions for top and bottom.

Anyone familiar with the Ashburn Starbucks having a Sunday car meet? Not really a show as all kinds of cars are there from modern Ferraris to Studebakers. My barber mentioned this and said I should drive up. Might be a good place to have RS's meet up and shoot the shiit. Need a hair cut so will ask some more questions, like which of the three Ashburn Starbucks it is.

Katie's in Great Falls on Saturday mornings is probably a better bet.
Great Falls might be a good central spot for the whole DC area. Does Katies have the same thing - an impromptu get together of different vehicles?

That was me dude! It was good talking to you.

I took up your recommendation and went to Mach V. I took care of the downpipe issue myself, however, they did an amazing job, and the car feels different with that tune.

Only thing now is car keeps throwing CEL for P0420, so may have to move the O2 sensors in another position.

Also +1 for the meet up
So you got a COBB tune from Mach V? More details if you please.

Any of you guys go to Dominion raceway? They have Track night in America this year and I was thinking about making the trip. How is the track? Smooth, rough, length, challenging, etc.

I saw this as well. I am highlyy considering it. As far as the track I don't know. I will get with my brother. He has had his Supercharged Chevy SS around it and his friend in his M4 GTS

Haven't heard of this one. Like the next post stated. Katie's in Great Falls on Saturday morngins then there is one at Crooked Run Brewery in Sterling 11 to 1 when the weather is better. Another one is Sunday mornings 7 to 9 at Dulles Landing Dunkin Donuts across from the Wal Mart. At Rt 50 and 606.

Thanks - appreciate the thumbs up. Def gonna have to check them out. Would love to have a tune shop that close - used to have to take the R32 all the way down to Lorton.

Thanks again - i am really close to South Riding area and a car meet near Crooked brewery is never a bad thing, except for the drive home! :wink-new:

I had mach v tune my RS once. it wasn't a bad tune, but there are much more proficient tuners on this particular platform, just not locally.
Good to know - you have some substantial upgrades, do you think Mach V would be fine for my limited changes? Also, what would you recommend? I def have no problem taking a drive if needed.

anyone is going to be fine to tune on whatever. even stock cars can benefit from a tune. No one locally, I feel, is an ecoboost tuner. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I had/have panda motorworks as my tuner. I've also heard nothing but good things about Stratified, JST, and mostly good things about Tune+. There are other e-tuners out there as well. If you need something as gratifying as watching your car on a dyno as it's getting done, most of these tuners can work within that parameter where you rent dyno time from a local tuner (expensive) and they dial in the tune on the dyno via email/phone/skype etc. but none of these guys are a "drive" away. Panda is 14 hours away in St. Louis, pretty sure Stratified is in Canada, and JST, I believe, is in Georgia.
