I purchased this 2020 from Carvana and now have 7 days to see if im keeping it. I knew it had the MADE Exhaust, intake, and the Rays wheels obviously. What I didnt know is it had a catless downpipe, DAW Ultra Flow and subsequently obviously a tune. Carvana also messed up the CF (but painted) front lip so I need to get that resolved. First spin with the Carvana truck still here it was obviously not stock.

None of those things are scary in themselves if I had been face to face with the prior owner for some history. I've built DSMs, Subarus, and had an R32 Skyline previously so mods are fine but I want to know I'm not running an e50 tune on 93 (no real ethanol here) or something. Any help is appreciated!

First thing you can probably do is grab an OBD reader that's compatible with the MHD+ app and see if the car's ECU is unlocked or not.

I'm going to guess and say the car is tuned seeing as it has a DAW turbo on it. Another guess is that if you've been running 93 for a while and have yet to get any CELs or issues, then the car is also equipped with a flex fuel kit, so the tune might be on a flex fuel map. I would check for those parts.

Do you know/see if it's the Ultra Flow R? Does it have any CEL as a result of the catless downpipe? I'm actually impressed the car got sold to Carvana with those mods.

This is spot on.

I found the prior owner on FB! Feeling a hell of a lot better. Agreed it almost certainly had to have a tune with the larger (unexpected) turbo. No CEL's

It is on 93 but for an unknown length of time as I haven't filled it yet.

Confirmed Ultraflow R, AA Catted downpipe, MST intake, MADE exhaust, on an ECUTek tune by Mike Botti. It is a flex fuel tune set up for up to E30. Conveniently, the sport display reads the Ethanol percentage (currently 9%). Fueling system and trans haven't been touched. The car has never been to the dyno or the drag strip which considering there is no reason to hide the info(I bought it from Carvana, not the guy) I tend to believe.

It's on Eibach springs which is realistically probably too low for Pennsylvania.

I suppose next steps are reach out to Mike, and get an ECUTek dongle just to be able to log. Oh and get Carvana to replace the Adro lip they decided to cheese grater while loading (I got pics of that while it was still on the truck).
