ok so i have a Cold Air Intake and my next thing was going to be the charge piping or tune, if i get the tune first will the charge piping affect the tune? or should i get the charge piping first? Thanks guys

 

get all ur mods then get the tune when ur either done for a while or for good

 

thats what i messed up on and now i have to spend more money

 

yea the most u can do besides a turbo upgrade for ur LNF is I/cp/E then tune it.

 

tune and bolt-ons makes the car bad ass

 

but will the charge piping afect the tune? the guy im haven tune it says the DP wouldnt really mess with anything but i never mentioned the charge piping...

 

it shouldnt but i mite be wrong

 

when i first talked to him i told him i had the CAI ready to be put on and he said deff. get that on befor the tune it would mess with the MAF...but i dont see anything the charge piping would affect..

 

oh god here

a CAI, CP, DP, and Exhaust will not affect the tune if you get the tune first.

the only time you will worry about the tune is after a meth kit or when the stage 2 starts coming.

honestly. do a tune. you can gain mass amounts of hp and tq for little money.

ive asked these questions to my tuner friends and they allll say the same thing.

go through trifecta or psykotune

IMO do a psykotune

 

cut the newb some slack

 

no im not mad or coming down at all on anyone.

just an FYI

heres a list of mods u can to do ur car so far as far as performance without going all bigeer turbo setup

intercooler
CAI/SRI
Charge piping
BOV
DP
Exhaust
Meth kit
STS
wingless!!!!
Tune


am i forgetting anyhting?

oh stage 2 once available

 

true true true

 

You can put all of these mods on the car before the tune, but you will not gain any power. It will learn down, but it will still sound badass. The mods will NOT "hurt" your car in any way, but if you get a catless DP, you might throw a code (depending on who makes it).

Sooo, what exactly are you looking at now: sound, or performance?

 

thats not true tho,

a DP and exhaust, CAI, and CP. you will feel a difference.

but def a bigger difference with a tune

 

performance...and i no about the learn down feature thattss why i wanted the tune first i just dont want to have to get it retuned after i do charge piping and DP. i was told that a CAI would affect the tune so i put that on first...

 

good man.lol

u choose a tune yet?

honestly the 2 best is trifecta and Psyko

like i said IMO psyko i like better for the LNF

 

i hear that Area guy is tuning good too!

 

yeah arrea is really good. too.SORRY I FORGOT!!!!

hes really good at tuning meth. so is psykosteveo too.

 

I am still debating tuning...
i am gonna take my car into the dealer to take a look at my car befor i do it.
cause if something goes wrong. I am gonna need another PCM

 

im gunna get it tuned later once i get mine tomorrow!

 

well i got another PCM from GTXprix on here had no issues at all with it paid 215 shiped all i did was plug it in and worked fine no re-lears needed...im having paul tune it he uses HPtuner...

 

Maybe I can rephrase this question slightly. I know with inhouse tuning it makes more sense to have all your parts on prior to the tune, that way you can tune all the parts for maximum performance. But if you get a canned tuned or the stage kit would it be beneficial to get it completely modded before hand? I would take it that canned/stage tunes are just reflashes of the same thing no matter what you do before or after the tune, right?

 

I don't think anyone had a canned tune offered, but the best way to do it is. Install your parts then tune. Then retune after if you get additional parts after that.

 

aye if you have questions. ask a tuner.

ask area 47

or Psykosteveo

those are their user names on here. send them a PM

 

Hahns PPC is canned, and the stage kit would be considered canned. And lets say you want to keep warranty and use the late stage kit and not retune. Would it be best to have all parts installed prior to get the ecu flashed, or would it really matter if you added them later? Performance wise, would you get the same hp/tq rating if you added them after the kit, or before?
