    I am hoping there is going to be a tune for the few people who have catted dump pipes from OVtune. I updated to 2.0 and now have a CEL. I knew better also. I still have the beta dump pipe tune, but I am switching to 4.99's and didn't save that. Does anybody know a way to access the beta 2.0 tunes still? They are off the website...

    I forget, if someone can please remind me what is the original Gear Lock sequence ; shift into sport mode then press the button or press the button then shift into sport mode and do I need to be in neutral or can I do it in drive or does it matter? Or do I need to be at a standstill or can I do it while driving? This is in reference to 1.05 GL. thanks in advance

    Shift into S and push ECT. Doesn't matter the order, and can do while driving

    I have never had fuel economy numbers like this on my commute from work, 2.0 is the real deal!

    On 2.0 SFOB Prem with 87, I was getting about the same MPGs as 1.05 FOB 87, just shy of 19 over three tanks. Swapping to 92 with no other changes, I was at almost 21.

    Give it more time, but if you are running 87, you might want to give high octane a shot?


    Weirdly, 04B14 Stock is shy of 21 also.

    Gear locking sequence from last 2.0 beta tune. I think its staying the same when FM is updated with all the FINAL 2.0 option tunes.
    D= Drive
    D+ ECT= Performance
    S-mode = Gear lock
    S-mode + ECT = Towing

    Long story short, on the previous tune I was able to maintain ~80 mph at 2500 rpm without any issue. This tune can’t maintain 75 without dropping to 4th and screaming at 3500-4000 rpm and then holding 3500-4000 rpm for at least 10 seconds before I force it into 6th with the S mode. Not sure what’s going on but it’s making me want to run off the road when it happens

    That’s what I’m hoping, otherwise I’m gonna have to wait to botch my own tune with VFTuner :anonymous:

    Yeah, that sounds gnarly, def will require some adjustments. At the very least the mileage issue adds up.

    Okay i was hoping someone else had this issue. I didnt want to say anything until i had 500 miles, i only have about 120 miles so far but i am having the same issue. I dont know maybe if its the Thx not sure . I was on the last 2.0 beta tune 91-OL+4.88+34-35+ did not have any shifting issue gear lock held all the gears until i felt i needed to downshift.
