This w/e I am replacing all the factory cold side piping and putting in a new intercooler. I'm also replacing the intake with an under battery intake pipe. Just wondering if I will have to get a tune or whether it will be ok to just drive around for a few weeks until I get a new tune? At the moment I have the 10psi cappa flash tune will it be ok to run still?

The risk of damage is always on your mind, take it easy untill you get it checked on a dyno.

I would ditch the 10 psi tune in favour of the stock one

yeh with ETM

at least drop back to the 8psi tune or stock if you can put up with it

and don't give it a hard time till it's checked out

Mate I've dropped back to the 8psi tune running rapids high flow v3.5 (4in intake, cooler hot & cold sides) and im just cruising around, no more than half throttle and taking it real easy untill I get the tune done.

Should be fine if you take it easy mate.

Ok thanks. Anyone recommend any tuners around Brisbane / Ipswich? Was thinking of trying APC at underwood because my bro uses them allot with his evo and seems to be happy with them. If I get a tune I’m going to have to replace my injectors aswell to handle the extra power. Any idea on how much it would cost for a tune and injectors?

Look for one that has the runs on the board with these things though, there are allot of OK tuners around the place that will give you a cheap tune....and you get what you pay for

Elite Automotive are at Archerfield and have one of the best reputations around, pitty the owner of the joint is such a bastard though! :blink: Paul is a member on here, don't tell him I sent you or he'll charge extra.

Hey Coley,I live out ipswich way, a little further infact, and I drive in to archerfield to see Paul at elite also. He gets my vote.

Not sure about the injector price but tunes start about $895 I think.
