    [VENDOR][FS]: LAP3 Uncle Chip Performance Tune - K8 Stinger Store

    Phew! You got me digging and I'm glad you've been asking these questions! The HKS M45iL plugs (different from the stock 3.3T plugs) have a spark gap slightly smaller than stock. HKS M45iL and HKSm45XL plugs come pregapped at 0.026-0.028. Checking your gap on your HKS plugs you want to keep in...

    Kia Stinger LAP3 Review for 2.0

    It more precautionary. We know that with the plugs there won't be issues as we've run the same set up on the 2.0T with the Optima and Sonata. The plugs are required to protect yourself and your engine

    [VENDOR][FS]: LAP3 Uncle Chip Performance Tune - K8 Stinger Store

    Just seeing this now, I reacted out to one of our trusted dealership techs and he should be getting back with me this afternoon! Sorry for the wait

    Catch Can Thread

    With the 2.0 you can benefit from either. Obviously the dual inlet is the best option as you cover both PCV and intake sides.

    Hey from Vegas

    Welcome! Don't give in to the BS, some dealerships think they have a Ferrari on their lot. Soon enough the price will come down to what it should be listed at. My local dealership in Cary, Hendrick Kia, are straight shooters. No BS or crazy markups on their Stingers. Good luck with the buying...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    We just got a report on the other forum of a member NOT using a tune or chip that popped his plugs. 100% stock :(

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I'm the East Coast rep, I live in Holly Springs actually about 20 min from downtown Raleigh. Everything ships from California though since I do not handle distribution just marketing, social media, and customer service. We have not moved!

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I'm having trouble finding the poll right now. Care to share a link? I havent seen it yet but what's the say someone made the same mistake as you? Or someone with or without the chip voted. Just because a poll was created on a forum that anyone can join for free and vote doesnt mean it hard...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I will correct you on this one. This cusomter you?re referring to was using the DUAL chip set up which we do not sell or support. Although it was reported, this type of situation doesn?t apply to our customers here since well... this option won?t be offered.

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I've only seen these reports on the forums here, a few of which have emailed us directly so this has affected less than 5 people. We have had zero reports from customers with the 2.0T using the Lap3 chip. Lap3 nor K5 Optima Store/K8 Stinger Store is held responsible for damage done to a...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    Initially yes, but you?re forgetting what I said previously. There are differences in gas quality between the different that can affect performance. After reporting back to Lap3 having a few customers with issues they immediately come back with a solution for us. This is not a situation of bad...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I assume you meant "test" this technology. Yes this has been thoroughly tested by Lap3 Korea. There are TONS of dyno results made by Lap3 for both the 3.3TT and 2.0T.

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I know their fuel quality is different then our fuel here in the States so that may be a factor. Also the Stinger is a new platform that well... everyone is trying to figure out. I don?t think this is something related to ?not being up front? or running ?unsupported?. We stand behind Lap3 and...
