Jrod New Member 4 Member For: 8y 1m 25d Posted 07/11/16 09:41 AM Share Posted 07/11/16 09:41 AM Hey legends. Do I need to tune my car after upgrading intercooler and putting a turbo side intake? I will be getting the car tuned eventually (couple of months) but just wondering if I can drive the car normally until then? Thanks in advance.

It won't over boost just will come on a bit harder and intake temps will be lower. Any other mods? Have you got a data logger or scan tool?

I'm dyslexic and cannot turn off simple functions in tapatalk I reckon in my uneducated guess you would see maybe 1 or 2 more psi at the manifold. Depending on what core you use obviously. Not exactly overboosting and I reckon the ecu would pull timing out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
