If I decide to get this will I need a custom tune to accomodate for these things as my car and engine were standard? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herrod are the ones who resell x3 SCT's so they might throw in a good deal for tune, x3 flash and motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
