hey guys, i purchased my car with a cat back exhaust and that is all.. so its just a stocker power wise, due to the cat back it hasnt been tuned and it has a nasty boost spike cut. im looking at selling the car in a few months and didnt want to spend to much money on it to get rid of this spike. i am aware you can buy some sort of managment plug in to the map sensor to stop this spike by increasing the boost cut to a level i woulnt reach. so it wont cut out on me when boosting. approx $500 for this unit i am told... is it somthing i can fit or does it need to be fitted by an auto elec/machanic and tuned. i am no good with electrics.... haha

or

get a front pipe and new dump pipe and send it to get it tuned for around $1200 resulting in the car having approx 220kws at the tyres thus doubling my power, new bov 2 stage boost solinoid bigger fuel pump..

doing this would also help sell the car obviously thus having more power and resulting in more fun for the new buyer

your thoughts???

If ur going to sell just get a quick street tune and be done. There's no need to go thru all the trouble.
U can also do mail in tune

 

if i get it tuned without the dump and front pipe how much power would i make or would it not be worth it???

 

+1.. why u selling?

 

I'm not sure how the market works down under, but here a stocker seems to be worth more than a car that has a lot of mods done to it.

Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part stock cars sell for more, especially if the mileage is low.

If you're talking about a built engine and a lot of well chosen parts, then I can see it selling for more, but not more than what you spent.

Anyhow, I can tune the car at whatever mods you have for maximum power with reliability as the main concern.

 

i dont understand how this mail tune works feel free to pm me on my person email.

the only reason i want to get it tuned is to get rid of the the boost spike as when you drive it its like somthings wrong with the car like a problem so i dont want to spend a heap of money

 

honestly im selling because i drive 200kms plus a day to work and this is my daily... ive got about 85k on the clock and i want to keep it under 100k before i sell it... the body is sooo mint not a scratch on it and im honestly scared parking it anywhere like at the shopping centre i take the mrs car when i can.
nice cars are a pain in my *** but i really dont want to sell it ide love to fit a bigger turbo injectors cams etc... i would love an evo with approx 350kws atw or somthing, just a weapon
