hey guys new here, just picked up a 2011 mk11 turbs in kenitic blue, sexiest thing ive ever driven soooo stoked, I'm planning on doing a few simple mods as I'm not chasing huge kw's, thinking a 3.5 catback system, 100 cpi catalytic converter, 4" dump pipe, cai and a tune, If I was to dø these mods should I have the car tuned straight away, I also want some nice 20's but wanna mod the engine first, will I have to re-tune the car after I get the bigger wheels, apart from the mods listed It should keep me happy for a while, would you also think I should dø my injectors just to be safe? thanks this thread has been a great help already

Changing the cat requires tune, do injectors too. Your factors intercooler pipes might burst too with the extra boost.

Not all all, will probably just show less power then it actually has with the big wheels. Also your speedo might be slightly out.

Apparently they are pretty good, but you would be better off asking the qld guys.

Hi everyone. Im a noobe to this site and there has been some great information on upgrades for my 04 xr6t. On Thursday/Friday I got a CAI and VCM tune from a local tuner and he took it for a run on Thursday and went great but on Friday he took the CAT out of it then didnt take it for another run. When I finishd work (wife had picked up car) I took it for a run and its cutting out at 4500rpm in every gear(auto). Should he have tuned after the CAT was taken out?. (it will be going back next week). Any info would help Cheers Martin. Also will it do any damage if I keep driving it??

The car will be over boosting with out a cat and that's not very good for the motor. You can drive it bit try to keep it off boost.

You will most definitely need a re tune without a cat!
