Is it worth it ?

Guys I picked up my evo rs and I love driving it. Now my question is, Since i have this hallman mbc laying around from one of my dsm partouts.. is it worth it to install it and get it flashed ? Keep in mind other than the mbc, the car is completely stock.

Edit: Never mind I taught myself how to use the flash software so I am going to flash it myself.

thanks

I did this with my IX when I first got it. Forge MBC and a road tune, got me better MPG and uncorked some ponies/TQ. If it still has the factory map, and depending on price of a tune, yes it can be worth it.

If you know how to tune yourself id go for it... But I, personally, would wait for more mods before a custom tune.... Just dont crank the PSI up to much without a boost gauge..... After an Intake, and TBE, youll notice the tune more..

Well the boost gauge would be installed before the mbcm. I am going to install it anyway without the tune just to stabelize the boost drop at redline. I won't go any higher than whatever I am running stock which is 18psi so ?
