hey guys

Just had a question, I'm a little afraid. I got ets licp and installed it and I didnt get a tune nor do I have a boost gauge. My question is could it have taken the boost up to much? Or should I not be worried about it.

Thanks in advanced

The LICP alone wont change enough to require tuning so providing your tune was good before it will still be fine.

You can replace anything on the car that restricts air flow with something that will allow it to flow more air with a better efficiency, for example, most aftermarket piping, intake, any part of the exhaust, and not NEED a tune. You will be perfectly safe upgrading parts such as these on the stock tune as long as you don't tamper with the boost pressure. However, once you get a tune, your car will run much better with these parts. Some people wait to do EVERY bolt on before they get a tune. Don't worry, I have a boost gauge, ets licp, and a turbo back exhaust, my boost pressure did not rise by itself after I installed the licp. Your safe.

Looks like everyone answered the question already, but your in good shape to run without a tune. Did you notice a difference?

Michael
