I do oil changes myself, but i want to take it in to get the vaccum regulator replaced since i still have the original one in place. I am taking it in so they can record a dealer service for re-sale purposes as well.

Is the new one that went bad the new updated one?

and did you ever open up the old one you had to see what the failure is? i'd be very curious to see what the problem is.

If I had the TTI software already could I not just have it tuned with the new turbo at a local tuning shop?

My last regulator is supposedly one of the revised parts, but that also failed. I am on my 4th, but since ive never had the dealer replace my original then i figured ill take it in and have them replace it as a backup. I've never open them up. I know theres a little foam filter, but even if you clean it the issue is still present.

You can just find a tuner with the tuning software to tune your car. TTI just offers a reflash for the stock turbo setup.

Have you noticed if the car sound different while driving around with the bad regulator?

I think at the end of the day the valve is getting gunked up with carbon/oil from the intake tract. They need a larger valve or better design that doesn't stick.

Since your location says Florida i would definitely recommend getting the Burger tuning Stage 1 piggyback. Its plug and play and gives a really nice power increase throughout the powerband.
