bone stock IX. TTM or custom tune?

I want the extra 30whp everyone talks about on the IX, and I want to be able to get more than 225 miles per tank like all these other folks are getting. my car SUCKS gas down even when I drive like a lil' ol' lady.

Is the TTM flash the best way to go for bone stock car, or custom tune?

Only 2000 miles too, is that too early?

Thanks!

It's not too early.

Custom tune is always better than a TTM.

TTM is still awesome if the custom tune is not an option, OR if you don't have the cahs.

Don't expect much better gas mileage, because only your open loop tune is adjusted, which is only when you're at WOT, and the more you're at WOT/full boost, the more gas you're guzzling. Don't worry, I don't get more than 225-240 miles per tank.

Do you still have your stock turbo? I'd like to buy it.

I'd like the turbo along with the outlet pipe that connects to the LICP. If you want to get rid of your stock exhaust manifold, I would take that, too for a good package price. Pics would be nice if you have them.

If you want to improve your mileage. Buy and install the Work drop in filter and works axle back exhaust. I used to get 206 to 245 per tank before the two mods. Now I get 240 to 260. I'm getting ~20 mpg now vs 18 mpg. Once I got over 300 on Just highway miles at 65-85+ mph.

Good Luck

A drop-in filter and axle-back exhaust will not affect gas mileage directly. That was just a coincidence.
