A tune is what you need to make you enjoy your car again.

 

Realistically I need to learn how to drive this thing first before I need more power.

 

Tune it.

 

Bang for the buck. I wouldn't spend money on a short shifter. Unless I found a used one for a decent price. But that's me.

 

Also I want to do intake before I tune so I don't have to bother with re tuning right again.

I'm also not 100% sure how the tuning process works and who would actually be tuning my car. Just seems risky.

 

Just get a Trifecta tune through Jordan. Easiest and safest way to go.

 

Jordan? Sorry not on a first name type of thing. Lol.

very easy very safe.

If you want ***** to the walls ask dustin he has HPT.

 

Fixed haha

Garret you really should run that tune one day at the track.

this is, in my humble opinion the best things you can do with a TC;
(in no particular order)
1) GMS1 / upgraded MAP sensors*
2) aftermarket downpipe
3) aftermarket tune.

I did it in the above order, then again I had GMS1 when I still had my bumper to bumper warantee...
I used warantee on the top end not once, but twice before 40,000km - so my approach was justified.

* = you can now buy MAPs by themself, and but the plug & play connectors from CED - and as of recently ZZP started offering them (but they're CED parts);
Some argue that you don't need the upgraded MAPs, but in that same breath, it seems that people running a 21+psi tune on stock MAPs are prone to blowing through MAPs.
The big downside to changing MAPs is the car needs to be tuned for them - if you change MAPs and see boost without a revised tune, your car will go in limp mode...

From my recollection:

• Going stock to GMS1 was huge(!);
• Going GMS1 to GMS1+downpipe was almost a huge of a difference;
• Going GMS1+catlessDP to GMS1+catlessDP+Trifecta was again, almost as huge!

Listen to Dustin, save your shifter money for something else
(Unless of course you're more into looks items ect than going fast - which isn't my bag, but I can wholly understand & appreciate it.)

Oh, and the K&N SRI (the last "new" intake offered for our cars) does not need to be tuned for... just saying.

 

I'm just wanting it to feel better when driving. Now it doesn't feel like it firmly goes into gear and would want to be more confident in my shifts.

 

i like to go fast....... thats all......

 

Oh, and IMHO, you should never use a tune as a band-aid fix for problems your car has;
I was intentional about tuning last, partially because it forced me to make sure what I had done was all functioning (ect) correctly - and my car wasn't throwing any codes.

Regarding the 'infiniboost' (Trifecta) tune, it hasn't been offered for quite some time - I believe it stopped being offered because it wasn't what Vince ended up deeming as "safe"...

I can't wait to see your car reborn!!

 

i like reborn cars...... thats all.....

 

well, if it's that bad, I'd guess that something is goobered up on your car - have you tried meeting up with (oh lets just say) Dustin, so that he might have a look at it?

Maybe something is broken, and you just need to R&R stock parts for it to be right again?

ha!!

 

This is the most retarded thing i've read all day.

 

fixed

I couldn't agree more;
There's nothing quite like rebuilding a car...
There's a sense of satisfaction that is tought to verbalize.

 

Jordan, are you reviewing your POF profile again?

I thought I told you to just give up.

 

frankien cars are cool.... i cant wait til blue gets that beast running too..... nothing i like more then tvs cars.....


ouch jonathan..... thats funny......

 

Turns out i didn't meet the love of my life off a shitty internet dating website, i guess you stole all the lucky ladies from me Jon.

 

Jon please in less than 2 sentences tell me why you would recommend spending $texas on GMS1 AND THEN buy a trifecta tune???

 

the reason is coz it is simply fun.... and it will make him cream his panties.....

i know you asked jonathan but we both know its impossible for jonathan to answer in 2 sentences....

 

It just does not compute to spend money on the same thing twice.

Do it once, no ***** given.
