hi, trying to find the previous owner or at least figure out my new 2013 SHO

[Black Coyote]

So id like to say hi to everyone, and im hoping someone can help me track down the old owner of this SHO i just purchased,or what has been done to the vehicle. Its a black 2013 pp with the black and grey seats. It was traded into the audi dealer of Arlington Va. The guy who had it before me has HR springs, KN intake and Snow performance methanol kit on it. It also had a sticker above the left tail light that said interceptor, with what looks like and on and off switch for the meth under the dash near the drivers door. I can defiantly say that it has a tune of some sort on it because its much quicker than another SHO that i test drove prior to getting this one. Im concerned the owner before may have the car tuned for meth but I have no clue on the mix percentage they were using.

Carfax says this car has been in MD most of its life, and im the 3rd owner. 1st being corporate, second one being personal. If there are any 13-14 SHO owners out that are willing to meet up and take a look at the car i would be down any time. Im in the DMV area D.C, MD, VA.

Yeah, you need to get that sorted ASAP.

Did the car happen to come with the tuning device?

 

[Black Coyote]

No tuning device

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

The safest thing might just be to get it to a dealership and get it flashed back to stock and start over.

If that tune depends on meth and your mix is off or everything's not functioning properly you could have some serious problems.

I wouldn't be beating on the car till you get it sorted.

Hopefully some of the meth addicts here will chime in...I don't run meth so i'm not much help.

As far as pics how would I do that? I can email some but I'm not sure how to get them on the forums. Do you need to be a paying member?

 

[ZSHO]

Speak with 4DRHTRD regarding the 3-bar map,and he will let you know everything,first is to setup your profile and then you could download your pictures from your phone,MIKE.B WILL CHIME IN SOON AND DONATIONS ARE OPTIONAL,BUT APPRECIATED.

 

[SHOnUup]

Pics are easy if you have tapatalk app...just touch the + symbol next to where you type message in and then your gallery icon for pics...on cpu you need to use something like photobucket. ..3 bar is sensor on top of intake, the only one there that has wires to it and not running through it (if that makes sense) 3 bar will have no paint smudge and end with AB on part # instead of CA(2 bar stock)

Only pics I have so far guys will get more as soon as I get off.

Looks nice, well taken care of

So it didn't come with a tuner, that really sucks. Tuning for Meth, there is only a few places that do that. Would Unleashed or LMS keep a record of the VIN?

That's what my next step was. Call one of them and ask if they kept the vin. I'm hoping the switch under the dash is for the meth... it's a on off switch so hopefully it can be turned off. Car runs smooth as it sits. I also followed the cord connected to the switch and it goes to the back of the trunk..

This is what scared me...that thing is bone dry empty!!!! I also have the infamous tick when you turn the wheel..other than that car seems good.

Welcome to EBPF!  I have an X3, probably will tell me if there is a tune file loaded on your SHO.  May even have the info for the tuner, if lucky.  We can give it a go, definitely post a question for Torrie (Unleashed) in the Unleashed Tuning subforum.

Pics are best uploaded to photobucket or flickr or something like that if huge.  If "reasonably" sized (2 MB or less), just attach them here or upload them to the gallery.

New hubs in order likely, sigh.

 

[ZSHO]

That tick sound is coming from your front end and and should be repaired under warranty,make sure they change the TSB washers and the wheel hubs,a.k.a wheel bearings,which i did,hope this helps.
