Hey guys, i just bought a AMS intake. Do i need to tune my 2011 X? or can i just install and go?

 

Do you have any other mods?

Most guys will tell you to tune it, but I still follow ETS's build where they didn't tune it. Tobz and ETS have both done intakes with a manual boost controller and no tune.

 

No this doesn't apply for the AMS intake because it changes the maf housing diameter so you will need a tuner to scale it properly and tune it.

So DONT install it without a pro tune. You will also need a heat shield I think

 

I have no other mods. This is my 1st one. If i need a tune ill way to buy my ETS exhaust and do a pro tune or the Accessport thing.

 

Do you guys know for sure if the Agency Power intake or K&N intakes need a tune...I've done some research but havent seen exact answers for those...from what i've see you dont need a tune for the Typhoon but havent found anything concrete in either direction for the Agency Power...I just bought a CNT RS exhaust and want to get a Turbosmart Dualport BOV and an intake...but I really want to avoid a tune for now if I can...thanks in advance

 

The K&N should be fine w/o a tune; K&N does decent R&D testing on their stuff to ensure it's safe to simply bolt-on.

 

You're right about the tune with the AMS pipe. They recommend 2010+ get a tune. Only 08-09 didn't need a tune.

 

This is correct.

All 2010+ Evo X's will require a tune when installing our short ram intake system. If this is not done you run the risk of damaging your engine.

 

What about AEM intake? Can it be used without a tune?

 

Does it have to be a protune or are the Cobb AP OTS maps fine?

 

and since your gonna have to tune, why not wait till you get some more tuneable mods that way your not wasting money tuning for every single part your getting... (tax time is coming up)

 

Not another one of these posts
