- VE Series II SS-V Redline Sportswagon A6 Phantom
Well I've had the SS-V Redline for 2 months now, It had a KPM 2.5" catback put on at the dealership before delivery, I have a KPM/VCM OTR to go on but was going to wait until after the first service, but I came back home on R&R as I work away from home, and decided I would put the OTR on and just change it back for service. But now I have asked the service manager what I can do without affecting warranty, I told him I wanted to go MAFless as it will be done at OZ-Track and it is what Steve recommends, to my surprise he said he has no problems with it and it will only affect the warranty on the engine if the thing detonates(being to air/fuel ratios leaning out) so i said what if a lifter goes or a big end bearing, would this be considered to be from the extra KW's, to which he said that the only failures he has ever seen on the 6.0L are from bad oil, bad fuel, irregular service etc and that if a lifter goes it will probably be found to be a faulty lifter if every thing else is in order ie the oil and service and fuel. I run caltex 98pulp always so fuel shouldn't be an issue. He also said that they service the Illawarra's Highway patrol cars, that DO have a tune and run on E10 and have had no problems.
So to cut a long story short, MAFless tune here we come.
