I'm thinking bout changing out my induction cover for the Injen intake w/ upper and lower IC pipes. Would i need to retune it?

 

Oh and is this kit a good choice?

 

if you go wih the injen intake then yes.

 

Hard pipes aren't enough of a difference to justify the cost of a tune. It's a different story with intakes,fuel pumps, injectors, etc.

 

+1

 

So I should be ok running it with original tune?

 

no.

 

...check afr's

 

get it tuned... i got the injen upper and lower i/c piping w/ ams fmic... took it to the tracks and ran worse than before i put the stuff on...

 

I have been pondering upgrading my intercooler and piping also. Im just worried that with the stock turbo there will be to much lag.

 

i heard they spool faster with the new pipes

 

I think they do with new pipes. I think the laggyness is due to the larger intercooler on a stock turbo.

Im off to search and read more.

 

Man if I need a retune I better grab O2 housing and maybe port and polish the mani...

 

I'd invest in the ETS Upper intercooler piping...

no need for a tune with those mods.

 

New Intercooler Pipes are a good idea. I noticed better spooling characteristics when I switched to AMS Piping. As for upgrading the FMIC I'd be weary about doing that with a stock turbo (or one of equivalent size). People rush to change the FMIC when the stocker is actually pretty good.
