for a while (got my car at 99k, at 135k now) my car has had this stuttering feeling while under a bit of boost. It used to dump boost every 100 or so RPM’s starting around 2.9k-3.1k while not as noticeable in 1st gear. Now it’s getting worse, stutters starting around 2k with hesitation to...

Looking to buy an intake, preferably around $150 shipped, but can go more. My shipping zip is 80922. Thanks!

I have a hole in my AC line where all the magical cooling goodness escaped from. The local shop wants several hundred dollars to replace it, but I can get the AC line from rockauto for $53. Since I don't have to evacuate the system, is it fairly easy to replace myself? The car is still at the...

I passed this train that never moves and saw the opportunity for a decent pic.

I just got a Diablo tuner and it comes with the MPG Increase, 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes. I live in Colorado where 91 is the highest premium fuel. I'm sure there's 93 out there somewhere, but I don't know of any places. Anyway, I was wondering if I get a good brand of octane booster to bump my...

So I bought an used 2012 Sonic and didn't think it displayed outside temp. This morning when I started up the car is showed on my radio (not the fancy touch screen, just the basic) and stayed at -40° F. I was messing with stuff and it went away. How do I get it back? If its still stuck at -40°...

So I bought a tuner from a member here and its in great condition. I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to use the Diablo stock tunes since its second hand. I bought with the intention of getting a BNR tune for it. Will i still be able to load the BNR tune without unlocking the Diablo? Because...

My wife thinks I should call it "Hot Tamale" haha. My redneck intake. Its amazing the difference in sound alone! Someone above said they got a micro puncture in their AC line so I put some tape down in that area to protect it.

Hey there everyone! So I'm wondering what my next mod should be for my car. I have an intake and heatshield and I bought a Diablo InTune 2 from someone that'll be here Saturday. I have $150 left to spend which is just enough for a BNR tune. Will that be the best thing to do next with my budget...

So I haven't seen a DIY for a heat shield so I figured I'd embark on the adventure of creating one and documenting for everyone. The basic premise is taking a small Rubbermaid trash can and cutting it to fit, adding weather stripping to the top, and painting with high temp to the creators...

Forgot my torx drives drivers at work, but this is about to go down today.

So this seems to be a good deal on a CAI but I've never heard of them. Here it is https://www.tunersdepot.com/2012-chevrolet-sonic-cold-air-intake-system/spyder-cold-air-intake-system-red-1.4l-turbo-4cyl-124419.html Any info, good or bad? Thanks!

Looking to buy an intake for my new Sonic! It'd be shipped to 80919 in Colorado, also would do local pickup. Trying to stay sub $200, but closer to $150 would make the wife much happier.

So I just bought a 2012 1.4L with the 6 speed manual with 100k on it. I thought I smelled something burning on the test drive, but I attributed it to all the semi's coming down a steep hill that I was on since it always smells like that there. I drove a hour and a half home, and it still...

So I just bought a '12 Sonic today and the seller was telling me a sales guy told him he could remove or swap vacuum tube(s) to help reduce turbo lag. Is this true? Is there another way to help reduce the lag? Thanks for any help.

So I'm going up to Denver today to look at, and buy if it's good, a 2012 Sonic. Anyone here in Colorado Springs? That's where I live and looking to maybe meet up and hang out with some fellow Sonic owners.

So I'm not sure this is here, but do people loan or rent out their tuners to people who can't afford them? I know the Trifecta is VIN specific, and the diablo isn't.

Hey everyone, checking in from Colorado Springs, CO. I'm really hoping to pick up a 2012 1.4l manual in Denver, just hoping the bank comes back with a yes. Just decided to think positive and sign up now!
