seen some stuff about aftermarket tunes not working good because placement of the sensors or something i was planning on getting the injen CAI...

quick responses appreciated

 

ummm i never heard of this?... get the tune

 

Intakes on these cars are about as useful as stickers.

Get the tune

 

just doing it mainly because i know it brings the motor sound out and that means more turbo sound for enjoyment plus im sure the car gets alittle better performance atleast

 

No.

Maybe a hp

whereas a tune will give you 30-50whp and 50-80wheel tq.

Take your pick poncho

 

Unless your tuned the car will de-tune itself w/ the intake. Intakes once tuned do make power increase, but alot of issues have come from intakes themselves right now. I'm back to factory box because I forgot to check my dejon intake pipe after I installed ottp s1 mounts which rotate the engine forward, the pipe was rubbing excessively (no issues w/ leaks that I noticed, the car ran fine with it)..but the pipe is nearly rubbed through now

So I'm waiting to see if GM will release its performance kit which has a different air intake setup.

 

well im doing both so picking isnt a option.. next is downpipe and 3" followed by a short throw already got her tinted and lights/badges will be later this year

 

If you call adding almost 20 whp in the top end useless. That is how much my car gained. The stock intake is more restrictive than the stock DP and Catback. DP added far less power to my car than the intake even catless it added only 8-10 whp up top. Intake is one of the best mods you can do other than tune and ported stock head. Intake ports flow like crap on this head way worse than a stock LSJ head. ZZP got 36 whp and 45 wrtq gains from their ported head. How does 400 wtrq on the stock turbo sound? The stock clutch cannot take it though.

You dont realize how restrictive the stock intake is once you are tuned do you? I bet my car would make only 315 whp with the stock airbox compared to what it makes currently. In fact I can almost guarantee it.

 

I have the hahn cai and tune and have had no issues.

 

should have gone dp first!

 

Intake I have heard issues with.... a tune no.

Plus most tunes don't change sensors... Minus the GMS1 tune, but they are in the same locations just a 3bar instead of a 2bar

 

i throw MAF sensor codes with my Hahn intake ALL the time

 

its coming in a few weeks

 

good man!

 

Those codes from the Hahn intake are pretty common...
