Community FAQ
Common questions answered and kept current by owners.
TuningFeatured
Do I need a tune for an intake system on the VB?
Yes. Community consensus is that an intake is treated as a tune-required mod on the VB unless you are following a very specific, well-tested setup and tuner guidance, even then most frown upon this.

Tuning
Is an Accessport/tune worth it on a mostly stock VB?
Yes, if you care most about power and drivability and accept the warranty risk; no, if warranty peace of mind matters more.

Tuning
Is the SPT/CVT reliable, and how much tuning can it handle?
For stock or lightly modified daily use, owners are generally positive on the SPT/CVT, but the tuning consensus is keep torque conservative and do not treat it like the manual.
