is this worth it?

i dont have the money for a custom tune, and i have already been flashed but that was before i got a drop in and a 3in turboback with no cat , as well as a fuel pump. is it worth it to pay the $100 for a new flash and raise boost to 21? thanks in advNCE

I would pay for the reflash. It will make a good difference in power for only $100. Plus it will probably make your car run a little smoother

Just Save up for a cutom Tune. The Difference is AMAZING. I swear the car like Woke up from a deep sleep or something. But yeah, the power difference you get with a custom tune is HUGE. So save your money for the custom tune, the car isn't complete without one.

If you don't have the cash, then just get a base reflash for $100 and set the boost at 22psi.

You should get the re-flash just for adding the fuel pump alone. Now with the exhaust and extra boost you will definetely feel the difference in power and smoother driveability.
