# Tuning Success: Daniel's 2016 SV6 VF

Writer's picture: undefined

Daniel brought in his 2016 SV6 VF equipped with a full exhaust and a VCM OTR intake. However, the car had been experiencing power loss, stalling, and hunting issues. After a thorough inspection, we discovered the OTR intake wasn't seated correctly due to an inner lip slipping off—a common problem when these intakes aren’t installed professionally.



The Fix:

To get Daniel's SV6 back in top form, we:

  • Reinstalled the VCM OTR intake with proper fitment.

  • Installed a purge to stabilize the airflow.

  • Custom-tuned the engine to optimize performance.



Pro Tip: We always recommend a professional install for OTR intakes to avoid issues like this. A small misalignment can cause airflow disruptions, power loss, and stalling.



Dyno Results:

After the fix and custom tune, the power and torque gains were clear:

Measurement

Before

After

Torque (Nm)

380.8 @ 116

385.1 @ 128

Power (kW)

152.9 @ 174

194.6 @ 210


The improved intake efficiency and custom tuning not only delivered more power and torque but also restored smooth, reliable performance.

Now, Daniel's SV6 VF drives like a dream—no more stalling, no more hunting, just clean, consistent power. 🔥
