    Not a Sunset Yellow owner...YET

    Welcome! If you live up north I hear the AWD is fantastic in the snow so if I were you I would opt for that option! The yellow is definitely a bold color and you'll be turning heads for sure if you get in one! -Paul

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

    This should be the fix instructed to us by Lap3 in Korea They come pregapped but I'll double check the measurement to make sure there isnt a need for regapping. We ALWAYS recommend checking gap lengths, even on pregapped plugs.

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

    We've been in communication with Lap3 in Korea about the chip being used on the Stinger. That being said we've been told that this is a viable solution to misfiring. I trust that they have looked into this or tested this and not just telling us as a band aid answer

    Who's experienced issues with the Lap 3 Uncle Chip?

    The point of the upgrade plugs is to prevent misfiring. We?ve been using this combo of upgraded plugs with the chip on other Kia/Hyundai platforms without issue of warranty work if needed.

    Who's experienced issues with the Lap 3 Uncle Chip?

    Oh sorry, I thought you meant long term like a replacement for stock plugs without using the chip. You can run these plugs short term, like if you needed to go to the dealership and needed to remove the chip. This would be perfectly fine

    Who's experienced issues with the Lap 3 Uncle Chip?

    Yes, these plugs you would ONLY want to run in a tuned/chipped state, not on a stock motor!

    Kia Stinger LAP3 Review for 2.0

    If you're running the Chip on the 2.0T we require (like on the Optima) to upgrade to the HKS MK45XL plugs to safely run the chip Yes if you have 92 run the 91 Octane setting, NOT the 93!
