Sorry to sound like a d ick, but 10 hours of driving around, spending $1k, another $1k on bolt ons, frustrations, wasting time and money, doesn't seem efficient to me.

Its like all this effort for the smoothness of the torque band and +5 whp? I started with bolt ons, and re-tune after re-tune every time I got a new part in, I realized it was such a waste of money and time, knowing I'm getting parts to get more power out of it. So I just turbo'd the fucking thing, and my torque dip was gone.
Makes perfect sense.

An option I carefully considered and deliberated on.

Reasons were many, from having just got it, wanting to get to know the car, wanting to learn to drive better before adding twice the power, not wanting to drop 5k+ on FI all at once just after getting the car. Also, haven't come across a FI setup I like yet. I did want to enjoy it to the max till then.

I don't necessarily consider it a total waste, now I have a go to professional tuner for all my tuning needs. Especially, when I do go forced induction which will happen before the year is out.

This is sounding promising from what has been shared so far. I will go boost with Vit Tuned soon enough!
