ditching the ecutek and adding the high flow cat with mbc, you should easily make 330whp+. just do the mail in tunes with either of the 2 tuners that just replyed and they will work with you. both of those tuners if your on this forum alot have always put out very high numbers on the cars they do.

Isn't the dirty little secret with ECUTEK is that it locks the factory ECU in such a way that only the tuner who put the ECUTEK tune on can remove it?

If so, then a mail-in tune won't be an option until you get that unlocking issue resolved.

The Hallman MBC is a good unit, very pleased with mine and how consistently it holds boost.

As far as HFC's, I just put the Perrin HFC on my IX and I am very impressed with both the quality of the piece and the power I get.

Then get the cable, free software and contact a reputable e-mail tuner. I'll give Mellon a nod, I am really pleased with the way he has my IX running. We got 25.5 Peak boost on 93 on a day with the temp in the temp in the high 90's with no knock counts.

Get this done and you should be in the 300/300+ category and the car will be a lot more fun.
