hi all<I spoke to couple of tuners today I told them I wanted to do an xforce 3'1/2 inch ehaust system,

pwr intercooler and a k+n panel filter,they both said I dont need a custom tune or a capa flash box this is a bit

confusing as another tuner told me I WILL need a custom tune.I am new to the turbo scene and want to do it

right the first time!to avoid engine failure!!the missus is busting my chops about spending $$$ onthe car,why

do you want/need to hot it up,my reply was I'M MALE AND COS I CAN!!please help.

thanks.

U don't need a capa box or custom tune for what? If u buy a Capa box then a custom tune is a good idea. At the very least if u flash the capa tunes then u need to stick the car on a dyno and make sure all is good.

that's when I put exhaust,filter and cooler on the car,will it need tuning after these are installed??

You will definately need a flash box and custom tune if your gonna be running any form of exhaust...

Whoever told you that you wont need a flash box and tune - dont ever talk to them again about modding your T.

It might not be as essential for the PWR cooler and K&N filter but its still very recommended to actually make use of the mods and maximise the gains.

You should also look at injectors and a Fuel Pump at the same time and id run the F6 CAI with the K&N if you dont already have it.

Is it an auto or manual?

There is plenty of info on this site geared toward giving you the answers you need. Have a good read before deciding on the mods and if possible speak to a tuner that's a site sponsor that is closest to you. They will set you right!

Ok, your clutch is gonna be fine if you up the power and your engine is good for boostin.

As I mentioned, have a good long look at different threads on this site.

The PWR cooler isnt a bad cooler for low 300's however, if you can budget slightly more, you should be able to pickup a good cooler setup with a core that will enable you a heap of headroom if you decide you wanna push the boat a little further in future!

Your gonna need to look at injectors before your exhaust is a restriction!
