New Vantage owner
Hello to all,
I have been wanting one of these for years and finally got one. Picked it up in Tampa. 2019 Vantage, modified with Renntech downpipes and exhaust as well as DME tuned to stage 2 pushing 725HP. Car is a beast. Fits nicely with my other ones. Looking forward to interacting on the group!
As with the Alfa, it seems this car also has some gremlins and wanted to reach out to the group for some good info.
First thing I noticed was this Ediff not available. What is that? What would cause this? It does have KW coilovers so not sure if thats why
Second thing and I am almost sure this has to do with the butterfly valve although i heard could be the coilpacks is the CEL Reduced engine performance. I have seen one option from renntech to varialbly control the exhaust valves and another to keep them open all the time. Ideas?

Love the new wheels, never been a fan of those particular stockies . . . How old is your battery? If it is the original, you should consider replacing it (easy, but overly complex DIY). I got a bunch of EDiff and other phantom errors about a year ago and after replacing my battery, all errors were gone. Never had a slow crank and no other indication other than electronic gremlins, GL and congrats! KH

Hi,
First thing you should do is get the CEL P-codes read so there is no guessing. Post them here if/when you do. Any, even cheap, scan tool will read engine fault codes as these are industry standard in any/all cars.
The Renntech exhaust product works as it is described and I have used them in AMG GTs, you have essentially the same system in this car as AMG. The challenge would be where it connects on this platform as this product is connected directly to the CANBUS and becomes a node, so where it intervenes on this platform would be the question. I would begin by contacting Renntech. Ask them if they've done one on this platform. Also, this is an expensive item. I think $700, if my memory serves as it's been a couple of years. You basically get a harness with a controller and remote for that.
Also, how are you getting past emissions in your state? Curious. Are you in a rural area of PA?
