When I installed my CAI it made the throttle response much better compared to stock! I am still skeptical about tuners though. Are there any risks associated with them? I mean we are dealing with the cars computer system here..

Whats the point of getting a tuner in the first place? I still don't understand what the big deal is.. I think they are way overpriced.
haha...ooh to be a non-believing newbie!

Hopefully the original owner will contact you, otherwise it's going to have to be sent to SCT to be unlocked. Doh![&:]

Everyone thanks for the replies. I just called back the Ebay store up in Chicago and told him the whole deal. I got this tuner and that it is locked onto the previous owners car. I told him this is practically useless to me and that I wanted to send it back. He agreed and told me to send it back and that they will take care of it on his end. Thankfullyhe's going to give me my money back on my credit card. This is the last time I am going to buy a programmer off of Ebay like this. From now on I am going to get a tuner from Brenspeed or Bamachips. Live and learn I guess.

Actually there is a risk when installing some of the after-market CAI's and not adjusting the tune on the car's computer system to compensate if there is a change in airflow.
