At least for now, but have some Q?s
1. Jv4 v dinan v ?? And why... I don't see using BT much (if at all) once setup
2. E40/50 tune v 100 - I have access to true e80 pump. And gt260 (100 Oct ul) aside from price is there a benefit to e40/50? Coming from a camaro w a flexible e85 time which made sense over a 100 tune
3. Normal maintenance do I NEED to remove it on dlr trips for routine maintenance since once they scan it they can see it's been plugged in?
4. Do any of these shit off CEL for cats? Since I have a 21 not sure I want to drop big bucks + downtime to unlock. If not, are o2 emulators still a thing?

I'm sure I'll have a few more

Given your questions, you need to do a lot of reading before tuning this car.

1- don't put 100% e85, you will overwhelm the fueling system. i recommend a max of E35

Dinan or JB4 will both work, but the Jb4 will give you more power especially when you are using E85

you don't need to remove the piggyback when doing maintenance service

no tune will trigger the CEL. the only time the CEL is triggered is when you replace the primary cats in the downpipes

I think some of what I said didn't come out correctly
I know not to run 100% e85, when I was talking about 100 I meant 100oct, I simply stated I have access to e80 bec some gas stations run shit e content (I've seen as low as e65 locally). I think it was dinan said they have a 93o/100o/e50? Map
CEL I was hoping one if the piggy back would prevent the CEL from tripping when running an aftermarket downpipe
But yes still doing a lot of reading about modding this platform

piggybacks do not suppress the CEL, only flash tunes (Bootmod3 for example)
