    Do you have a software tune in the car? Do you hear a sucking sound for about a second after you shut down the car?

    I bought the car used not long ago so I'm not sure if there is a software tune or not. I went and checked and did hear a sucking or hiss when I shut the engine down, I also heard something that sounded like an electric motor followed by a clicking sound.

    That delay is just part of the factory programming. You can get a custom tune to adjust it or you can simply adjust your driving style. Doesn't take long.

    Does anyone sell a handheld tuner that plugs into obd
    port like those sold for some cars and trucks to get a custom tune? If not how would I get a custom tune? I wonder if the factory made that delay on purpose to keep the supercharger boost up?
