AMS Re-Flash
Thanks!
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. If you are asking if you need to be retuned after getting the AMS reflash + boost pill, the answer is no. AMS's flash is tailored to work with the boost pill.
All that being said, I still prefer custom tunes. Using a boost pill frees up some extra boost, so AMS has a pretty good basemap because the map takes advantage of that extra boost. However, a custom tune without a boost pill will get you very close or surpass a reflash with boost pill. A custom tune with a boost pill should do even better. The cost difference is marginal at best, and in the end, you get to help local tuners who, in turn, can better support your other modding needs.

As much as I want an AMS tuned flash I will go with a local custom tune to get that extra bit out of the car. AMS parts will be in the mix anyway, planning on an putting in an AMS intake and battery.

What you need to flash this to your Ralliart:
1. A laptop. You can find netbooks for $300 and under nowadays, just make sure they are not linux.
2. A Tactrix 2.0 OpenPort reflash cable
3. OpenEcu EcuFlash software

you should also get Evoscan v2.6 and a wideband. Then you can safely custom tune yourself and really push some HP and save hundreds of dollars. Plus you will be able to always check on the health of your car to make sure everything is running at top notch.
