Advice/Clarifications
hey,
been on the boards reading and learned alot but just need some clarifications.
My plan: to eventually go turbo, but for the moment looking for a bit more than stock.
im looking at:
UD Pulley
SRI
exhaust
the pulley and sri im looking possible at RRM, coz i cant find anwhere else (looked at RPW and other local)
exhasut will most likely be custom local.
anways things i need to know:
if i do them, do u need a tune/flash/piggyback/whatever,
coz im pretty sure i wont(tho it would help) but i remember a couple posts that a new intake made idle and other things choppy and caused problems with out that - just need to clarify that reset ECU ill do(ie battery off, 15 min break in)
also with exhaust size just to confirm, catback 2.25inch wont loose too much torque yet be large enough for turbo later on
TIA
-Steve

RRM is the only company with a pulley that i know of. injen and AEM also make the intake, a quick search could give you alot of threads on that topic.
After you put in the intake/pulley you should simply reset the ECU. leave the battery unplugged for 15-20min. hook it up and then let the car idle for anouther 15. take it out for a little cruise without punching it out for like 15 min. turn off then on and see what your $$ got you.

You can optimize the full potential of the modifications listed with a tuned piggyback. Do some research and you'll find some decent reviews. Both RPW and RRM have PBs for sale.
After installing the SRI, just follow ralliart329 instructions.
If you're eventually going turbo, get 2.5". If you're staying N/A for quite a long time, stick to 2.25" as this would be the best for you as you won't lose too much low end and it'll be decent for the time being

Mine was okay (no CEL). I even accelerated hard a couple of times to get the whisp sound when I drove after the install. No problem, so I guess I don't need to reset it, right?

I put my CAI and turn on the car as it was, it the idle was very bad (just i didnt reset the ECU before cause i was curious hehe) then I disconect the battery for a few minutes, turn it on, and beat the heck out of it
No 15 min in idle, no 15 minutes of peaceful ride, none of that crap , hehe, that wont do any difference

You do not have to reset the ECU for the intake. OUR ecu will get use to it within time. Jus install the intake right and make sure all parts of the intake are intact. Let it idle for 5 min and cruise around for 10 min. Then punch ittt, and ull c and hear the new intake
