buschur intake require tune?
No flaming please this is a legit question and I have read all the debates about intakes and bla bla bla.... Mods are in my sig, Im obviously tuned for that. If I went to a buschur Intake would it be necessary for me to get a retune? I've heard some intakes can decrease your performance without a tune, and some you just won't get the full potential without a tune... But I've also read/heard that buschurs doesn't REQUIRE a tune... Especially since I'm already flashed... Help me out here please because I want to know b4 I buy.

On a stock car you would not need a tune if you added the intake. There are a good amount of people out there running just our TBE and intake and are problem free. The cars even run on the rich side from the factory. Anything more than those 2 things I would definately recommend getting a tune. Actually even a flash on a stock car is still good for about 30whp. $375 for 30whp... very good bang for your buck.
Take care

If you just add an open element filter you will be fine. If you change the MAF pipe, then you will end up throwing off the tune. To what degree I couldnt tell you.

Everything in my mod list has be flashed for by Al except the Nisei LICP (which really doesn't require a tune) So basically by all the replies here its seeming like the concensus is I would run fine and wouldn't require a tune, but to get the MOST out of the intake Id need the flash... So basically I'll be gaining a hp or 2 and some nice sound without the flash, with the flash I'd pickup 7-8... 
Thanks for the replies guys.
