I "think" I have a tune

How's everybody doing. I purchased a 2012 MCS with a N18 motor a couple months ago. It seems like everything hit be at once shortly after purchasing. The first thing to go was the thermostat housing I replace that and the coolant hose long time myself. Then after that a couple of the causeway and I replace those myself too. I bought a Borla S cat back system and install that followed by a downpipe which I install today. While I was taking apart the heat shield I noticed there were some screws missing and what surprised me was when I took apart the stock catalytic converter I noticed there was no gasket between that and the turbo. I also noticed that I have a larger intercooler and an aftermarket intercooler hose. I've been researching these last few days trying to find out about solutions for the check engine light after I put in the downpipe. I won't be able to get a tunes for a few weeks. I settled with myself that I will have to have the check engine light on until I get the two. After I installed the downpipe I went to start the vehicle expecting to have the check engine light on. I drove all afternoon and no check engine light. The car feels really quick but I'm not sure. I guess I should be counting my blessings.

The CEL won’t come on for up to 60 miles. How many miles have you put on since the downpipe? Is there anything in the OBD2 Port?

OK, I didn't know that. I have about half that right now. There is nothing in the port.

I’m not sure where you live but if you send it to me I can tell you if you have a tune. Also if you can log or measure boost is a good way to see. Stock boost maxes at 13psi. A tune is usually 18psi to 22psi

Thanks, I'm in Arizona. There is a guy here that does Manic tunes. I was going there next week. Hopefully he would tell me if I has a tune. I'd love to use the money for a suspension.. lol
