Im stoopid help me
 

So im a newbie at everything modifications. I just got a 2013 Scion FR-S and I want to get it tuned. My question is if I plan on getting a supercharger in the future will that mess it up? I could go on for ages with more stupid beginner questions, but I will start with that.

You should start by reading through the various sub forums, as every question you've asked has been answered multiple times.

"Tuned" how? If it's stock, the only worthwhile "tune" is the OFT, which is easily reverted to stock.

I dont like you

Yes it is stock and the OFT is the one i would get. My question isn't if I could revert it to stock because I know I can do that, but I'm wondering if I were to get a supercharger later on would that screw the tune up. Now that I think on it this was a stupid question. Im sure I could easily just retune it to work with the supercharger.

Good question.
Simple answer: no you will not mess anything up.

Better answer: you can get a tune now and enjoy 5 more hp for $400+. Then when you get a supercharger you tune it again with maybe another brand of tuner software. Or which ever comes/recommends by the supercharger kit. So, buy it once then buy it again.

What it comes down to it is what your wallet says. If it was me wait till you get a good supercharger kit.

My only tip for newbie is to not start "modifying" anything yet. Enjoy your car as is for now. Leave the engine alone for a while. Start with suspension, brakes and tires. Start with a few track days to get to know your car then at that point you can figure out if you want to drop lots of money into a slow car to go fast, or so you want to drive a slow car to go faster. (Aka become a better driver).

Join the club. But before that, search the site for commonly asked and answered questions.

I find it disappointing that this forum would rather treat someone as if they are an idiot rather than answering a question.

Thank You. I do plan on getting tires and changing suspension first and I see your point. I haven't driven the car much yet and I already love it so I will attempt to hold back on dropping too much money immediately. Thanks for actually answering the question even though I guess its been asked all over the forums.

Oh, that's just @Cole ....... being @Cole ...... because, well, just because .... :D

Hello BenSavage, congratulations on your purchase and welcome to ..... The Forum ....... :clap:

I see you have met one of our more colorful characters ....... :w00t:

Yep, as @Mr.ac says, I also suggest you just drive your car for a spell while it's stock.

Why? Because, for most new to sporty car drivers, this car, right off the boat, will outperform your driving capabilities. So, the best way to enhance it's performance is to fine tune your driving skills.

After you have "mastered" driving it, you may wish to first change to some tires that better suit how you are driving the car (i.e. autoX, track, through twisties).

For a non modified car, I'd leave the tune alone ...... there ain't nutten wrong with it for average driving.

Will a supercharger mess it up..?? The tune? - most likely would benefit from a different tune. The car?? Any time you FI a car that wasn't designed to be forced fed, it puts an additional strain on the engine and drivetrain.

You getten ma drift ...... ?? ......;)

I guess it's all about perspective. I thought Cole provided a very succinct, helpful post regarding where the Noob could find the appropriate information.

In fairness the thread title does set the OP up for such comments.

Much of what you need to learn can be found in the various links on this thread -
