Well, my mods are full TBE exhaust with O2 housing, 6.5 TME turbo, port and polished exhaust manifold, AMS Intercooler and LICP. I think i got my first tune when I only had the exhaust ... So im thinking i might be restricting the car with the stock intake.

Anyways, I always read how intakes will mess up the stock ECU. I actually tested with a wideband and an K&N cone and it leaned me from 11.5 to 12.5+. If i only want someone to flash my car, should I buy an intake before I get a retune? Can the MAF be worked around with just a reflash?

 

no...unless your getting 400+ hp..




yes. just tell your tuner that you have an intake. just NOT the K/N Typhoon junk.

 

In this stage of the game, a tune with any additional mods would be smart. You may not net the gains of each piece if you don't. If you get an intake, I would recommend a tune. You saw for yourself the effects of your AFR's....
