My reasoning exactly. The service department I've used for my Wrangler so far has been extremely laid back so far. They even let me come out to the shop floor to look at my Jeep up under the lift when they were working on my differential. I don't think they're THAT laid back though.
You couldn't be more wrong... Modifications DO void warranties. Tuning especially, your operating the vehicle outside of design parameters the MFG has deemed safe. Try it...tune your vehicle and then need to have warranty work done, and do not hide the mods and see what happens.
Interestingly between fills I average 20.9 mpg +/- 0.3 mpg. Unless I get stuck in DC traffic or we go somewhere with more highway time this is really stable and I don't stray far. I use Fuelly to compute this, but the computer is usually about the same.
The Giulia 2.0 is advertised as 280hp. Chassis dynos are showing 300+ at the crank. Perhaps the Jeep is too. I’ve not looked into it.I'd believe the factory is under-rating the stock engine output numbers a bit. A stock Sahara can hit 60 in roughly 6.5-ish seconds. That's not FAST, but it IS quick...and playing in sporty-car territory...a Jeep...!
Definitely bookmarking their site! I once did a simple ecu/injector swap on my Gold TDI - holy crap, did that wake things up a bunch! So I'm entirely sold on the results of quality work. Good news for most folks is the Jeep warranty isn't exactly generous,IMO, so in a few years, the warranty discussion is moot for many.
The Giulia uses the GME 2.0L just like the Jeep. The JB4 tune for the Jeep is labeled Alfa 2.0
The pulsar piggy back and the ride height links for leveling my air suspension have remained on my ram rebel every time it has been to the dealer, including replacing a failed ride height sensor under warranty. A piggy back or canned tune on a gas engine adding a few horsepower will be tough for them to prove that it causes whatever warranty issue you have your rig in for. Adding a supercharger, bigger turbo, massive amounts of power etc. and yes you are on your own. The magnuson moss act is very clear and has been used to force shady dealers to honor warranties a million times. With mopar selling 2" lifts for instance, they would have a tough time arguing your non-mopar lift voids the warranty as well, as it's easy to show that the aftermarket parts are not substantially different than dealer parts.
It feels a lot stronger throughout the power band, but really comes on around 2500 to 4000 rpm.
I own an 18 Giulia (the reason I wanted the 2.0) and I’m a member of a forum. The tunes from different tuners are claimed to give a wide range of gains. I think the minimum I’ve read is 30 Hp and some claim up to 90 hp somewhere in the curve. Massive torque increases. The majority of the gain is midrange with the turbo running out of breath up top so the gains are much much less there. They’re big on 0-60 there and they are cutting almost a second off their times. Going through the rpms where the gains are greatest, the midrange, you only see it once in first gear from a standing start, to the floor.
