It's definetly a kei car but I'm by no means an expert on them.

Daihatsu Mira maybe?

Can I install 4 Bar PUT sensor without a tune?

I was doing some exhaust work, while under the car I installed power flex dog bone insert and installed the 4 Bar PUT sensor. I'm doing my MPI next week and plan to update my tune with all the new upgrades after.

Right now, My EPC light is on, car on Limp mode, code is saying sensor. I thought my current tune would be able to communicate with new 4 Bar sensor and run no issues? Am I wrong?

You have to rescale for the upgrade sensors in the tune.

I called my local APR dealer today for quote on install of APR stage 3 IS20 tune.... retail online says 500$..I imagine 1-2hours of labor (150-200$ more) but I was quoted 975$ to software flash a tune...
Does this seem normal? I feel like they are doubling their margin on this.

Yeah I'd inquire what you're getting for $975... OTD cost should be cost of tune (plus taxes) and one hour of labor. You'll need new spark plugs, too, so maybe they're billing for plugs and labor on that? Either way, too much.

Seems steep- they could be charging for how long it takes their specific shop to do the tune?

Do you have an auto or manual? Maybe they mistakenly included the cost of a TCU tune? If that's actually what they're charging for just an ECU tune, it's way too much.

Hi! This is a stupid question and rant. My MK6 and its cargo net was easy to hook up everywhere. This MK7.5, I cannot find top anchor points or whatever to hook the net at the rear end of the hatch. Also, the MK6 cargo net was like doubled over and had a zipper where you could put shit inside the net. Did I really pay this much money for a stupid net without zipper compartment?
