Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is not stock for too long, just getting started on a few, hopefully, simple things I can do myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is an FG MKII Turbo, only mods so far are middle muffler delete, Herrod air box and intake muffler delete. My next plan was an F6 intercooler and hard pipe intercooler kit, maybe with throttle body elbow upgrade to. As the F6 cooler is a bit bigger (cheapest option with no plastic end tanks) will it need a tune? I do hope to tune it one day at the very basic level without having to change injectors and fuel pump and trying to do it one step at a time as I can afford to spend on the car.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,291 Member For: 16y 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/06/16 08:08 AM Share Posted 17/06/16 08:08 AM no, it won't require a re-tune. Intercooler is one of those items that probably won't cause an issue, but it's worthwhile running it up on a dyno to ensure AFR's remain in a manageable level (for the stock tune). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
