Mcfear Member 32 Member For: 12y 12d Posted 16/10/13 11:23 AM Share Posted 16/10/13 11:23 AM Hi guys,I have a fg f6 and was wandering if I need to do a tune if I fitted a CAI? Car currently tune to 313rwkw with venom cat, injector and tune. My main reason is I want louder induction noise. Anything else I can do without needing a tune eg. Cooler upgrade etc.Thanks,Mcfear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if your car is tuned In Closed loop it could still bring boost back down to normal depending on extents of mods. Wait till your mod lists build up and go for a retune which is like 100 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fhuk is he gonna know if his car is tuned on closed loop? Do tuners leave a note on your flash box now sayin... "Oh cheers I tuned in closed loop have a nice day" ? Lololol He is right to an extent... But it's an unknown on your part so it's up to u how much risk u wanna take... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 16/10/13 10:20 PM Share Posted 16/10/13 10:20 PM ^ married to a choona.. Also to reiterate her point.. It's already tuned.. With hi flow cat.. So it could be tuned to a bees dick of breaking point.. For $100 (as quoted above) a retune would be cheap insurance when you're messing around with air flow with different coolers etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $100, you'll get another dyno printout and more than likely more power as well as peace of mind that you have had your tuna look over the car.
