WOW... you upgraded all that without getting a tune?

To asnwer your question, well I can't answer your question but it would be a pretty substaintial improvement. Tuning makes move of a difference than the mods themselves.

By the way, I hope that you haven't been driving it without at tune especially with the upgraded turbo. If so, I can't imgine what you AFR's would look like.

Well with the s afc he can get by safely for now but it will definately get more power with a tune.

Stop being so dense.

If the car drives without a "tune" without any CEL's, the AF ratios are withing factory fuel trimming abilities.

A tune will get AF ratios on target, but it doesn't mean he's not safe driving the way he is.

AF's are a start, but your power is gonna come in your timing. Get someone that knows how to dial in timing. Use resonable AF's for thermal management NOT power.

Good luck, the right tuner will net you some good gains, although an AFC is less than ideal for the amount of mods that you have.

A good custom flash or Autronic, AEM might be some options to consider in your case

lol..that doesnt mean he isnt leaving a ton of power on the table

you can be knocking and have the ecu pulling timing all the time and still not throw a CEL

Your original post was a little strange....cause you listed a whole bunch of things that are irrelevant to "tuning" a car.

A lot of it depends on who is tuning the car.
Personally I think AFC's work like butt. I don't know why you'd go and spend money on one if you can easily use ecuflash and not some piggyback delayed signal conditioner.

Your peak boost has a lot to do with power. Simply having a boost controller isn't a mod. It's a substitute for a stock boost controller. You need to specify what peak boost you were running.

-greddy boost controller irrelevant unless you tell us what boost was set at
-s-afc was this used for tuning or some other form
-greddy universal bov irrelevant
