Default Quick tune question

I ordered my tuner from Brenspeed and it should be here Friday (tomm). However I bought a CAI from a MF member and it wont be here till monday. Question is can I put the tune I ordered on the car with the stock airbox even though the tune was written for the CAI?

Since the CAI evidently requires a modded tune, then highly recommend that you do not install the tune until after the CAI is installed. Otherwise, you may damage the engine.

I definitely wouldn't, as the tune is written with a specific A/F ratio given by the new CAI.

Don't bog your car. You have to enter the tune after the cai is installed.

Your X-CAL3 should come with three canned tunes from SCT, which you should be able to play with till cold-air intake gets to you.

Wrong. Buying the tuner from Brenspeed means they dump the garbage tunes and only load THEIR custom tunes.
