Tuning required?

Fellas!, question about tuning. I just got a TurboXS exhaust and down pipe installed, as well as a BOV, and a short ram intake. The car already has a boast control and a free flow cat. Do u guys think I need a tuning? When I got the boost control and the cat., I did a first time tuning. Thnx.

To get the most out of your modifications, you will need a tune. You'll also notice a smoother power curve and better fuel economy.

So that boast controller must be some new jdm hotness that makes your car talk trash about other cars after the tunings

Anyway... If your were previously tuned with a boost controller and high flow cat, it would be wise to check the tune after adding the downpipe and and especially the intake.... between the exhaust and intake mod's the boost may be up a couple psi from where it was tuned and the fuel may be up to a full point leaner than where it was tuned.

In short, get it checked for sure, esp if your not able to log it yourself, and verify everything is safe, if it's all good then don't worry about it, if not then get it re tuned.
