It has been tuned with with the SCT tuner, has upgraded injectors and intercooler piping.Just curious, if I buy the car and decide to buy the stepped cooler and do a turbo side intake. Is it as simple as a workshop doing a retune on the dyno? Or is it a bigger process?Just tossing up whether to buy stock or one that's half way there,Cheers!

New tuner will start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be a new tuner.So it will be a retune using the existing box? but just starting again. Or will I need to get a new SCT flasher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health check on the dynamic before any extra work would be wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 14y 10m 2d Posted 11/08/13 10:21 AM Share Posted 11/08/13 10:21 AM Agree with Paulie - although the hardware maybe there , the guarantee and saving will only come , once you / tuner are confident that the pits work and have been put together well and with the same attention as you and your tuner would expect had you supplied and fitted the hardware . If possible , can it checked out - escpecially if you have been asked to pay a premium for the performance gear . If you're not, then the gear could be a bonus is retained , or it ending up be a cost , having to bring the car back to platform that your tuner is happy with. In my opinion , it's all in the price and what you have the opportunity to have the car checked properly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car isn't anymore expensive because of the mods! So they're just a bonus! As I wasn't aware of the tuning process I thought I may have even able to add a few things and just 'update' the tune! But looks like I'll save my pennies, buy the additional hardware and new tune/dyno at the same time. Best option yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
