Intercooler flash Q

I was wondering if i would require a reflash after installation of an O2 housing and an intercooler. Yes i've searched.

Current Mods:
AMS TBE
AMS LICP
Invidia O2
K&N drop filter
Greddy EBC
Jestr M2 Flash

It gets hotter then 122F in Kuwait. Plus i'm gona do a GSC S1 cams and the buschur green turbo in a couple of months. So would i require a reflash after installation of an Intercooler?

Thanks

Maybe.....would depend on how much the IAT are affected. You're not going to hurt anything by not flashing it for the IC, but you will see more benefit potentially from having it flashed.

I agree w/ 4tun8...your new IC will help lower temps and could change your current tune a little bit but I'd wait for the tune if you know for a fact that you will be doing the cams and turbo upgrade soon

Every Time you mod something you can get more power out of a tune, but Its not like you going to totaly throw the tune off. but a retune will help. Usualy you would retune after a large number of mods, like if you Put the FMIC on and the O2 housing and You changed your injectors. You would need a retune, but not just for the O2 housing and FMIC. But a retune will make more power.

wait off on the reflash if you plan on more mods soon
Otherwise you just sort of wasting money.

If your gonna do a new turbo soon, you can prob wait on the flash til you get the turbo. No need to spend money on the flash twice
