Okay, I have full TBE from HKS with a custom Test-Pipe. I would like to know what else I should do before I tune it. I am going to flash it after my next mod. What should that be? Some people tell me Intake, others tell me Fuel Pump, Some Boost Controller. What do you suggest?

 

MBC/Gauge
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump (don't really need it, but it doesn't hurt)
Lower Intercooler Pipe

 

I was planning on getting guages also. But you suggest MBC? The shop I am going to sells TurboXS MBC, is that good?

 

if you have a little extra money, i like my greddy profec b electric boost controller alot. nice and easy to adjust your boost from inside the car for those cold mornings/hot afternoons. you can find them cheap on ebay.

 

Money isn't really an object, so much. I have a good amount to use on my car, its just how much I WANT to use. I don't like to spend money stupidly. If the Electronic Boost Controller makes a considerable difference for its price margin, I would probably take it. Is it sizeable so it can mount in a cubby-hole, or the ashtray? Where is your's?

 

I wouldn't use that MBC, I'd go with a Hallman or Forge UNOS.

 

What ??!! What do you mean you don't need a fuel pump ? Certain tuners (Dynoflash) won't even consider a tune if you don't have one in to beggin with.

Look kid , first of all you should be searching to find out what kind of parts you need. But say you were badly injured in smaleting accident and couldn't type to search ... i would still tell you that you need a MBC (the brand is up to you), Walboro 255 (HF if you ever want to upgrade your turbine), an intake, a blow of valve (not for the sound but because your stock one suck $hit), and then if you had the money and the time some LOWER INTERCOOLER pipes. But seriously man you should put something under the hood before you go for a tune... other wise you will just need anotherone the next time you add something with air. My 2 cents.

 

1. Dont call people "kid"- its insulting and makes you look stupid.
2. You misspelled "smelting".

To answer the OP, Yes its pretty small and I have it in that cubby hole below the radio. Actually I should say "had" because I traded my 8 in with my ebc. But im going to get another one soon and put it in the same spot because I liked it so much.
Also just to clarify, the profec b spec 1 is an electric- not electronic with a display, etc... those are expensive! I liked it alot though and plan to put it back into my new car.

 

Aux, he has a IX, so he doesn't necessarily need a fuel pump, and he certainly doesn't need to change his BOV. In fact, it would be foolish to purchase a BOV.

Ultraist, seriously, you have made SO MANY THREADS, and I can't figure out why. Is it really that hard to search and read? You can get these suggestions from many other threads. Some will be in disagreement, but based on the explanations, you can make an educated decision. Instead, you just constantly make new threads hoping we'll bail you out.

My advice is that it depends on what YOU WANT. Do you want an intake? If so, then get one. Do you want full control of your boost, or do you want the flash to give you a static boost level? Do you want an expensive EBC that is difficult to get setup properly and can be problematic over time but that will ultimately provide more features than an MBC ever could? Do you want an LICP? That's a very good mod that can be added before a flash but isn't required.

If you have the money, then get the Walbro Fuel Pump, Forge UNOS MBC, and AMS LICP. After adding those, get yourself a mail-in Dynoflash for $199 shipped unless you are in SoFL and can wait until July for a custom tune from Dynoflash in person.

 

Funny, I'm on stock fuel pump and I was tuned by Dynoflash with no problem, then again I have an IX which is the same for the topic creator. You don't necessarily need it as its improved over the VIII, but it doesn't hurt getting one before getting tuned.
