tattoowrx Member 40 Member For: 17y 5d Posted 13/02/10 01:43 PM Posted 13/02/10 01:43 PM Im looking at buying an x3 flash for $695 off the capa website this week, Just a quick question. my Auto BA xr6T is stock apart from the F6 cooler and Growler intake with KN filter. What RWKW could I expect to see with the addition of the X3? and will my fuel economy also be improved?

blackxr6turbo Member 61 Member For: 17y 8m 5d Posted 14/02/10 05:40 AM Posted 14/02/10 05:40 AM with a custom tune, up to 50rwkw top extra and perhaps more on the middle with 98?
tattoowrx Member 40 Member For: 17y 5d Posted 14/02/10 09:31 AM Author Posted 14/02/10 09:31 AM in regards to a custom tune, dont you just plug it in from capa and its already tuned to go?

But a generic tune is for a car similar to yours in specs it is not for your car and because of that I would definitely get a full tune done. You dont want to risk your engine.

Would have gone further if it wasn't for the stock cat.They dyno'd it for fun with the generic 10psi tune from CAPA on stock injectors and it read 280rwhp (about 210rwkw)...get a custom tune the generics are a waste of time.
