Bolt-ons + Tune Power?

That's like at least $2500. If I were to guess it would get ~200whp with everything.

that isnt that bad, took me around 3500-4000 to get good reliable 200whp out of my 2zz-ge 1.8L and i had over 9000 rpms to play with+ big cams, this car is pretty cheap to get to 200whp for 2.0L NA

I know people would line up for a proven set of exhaust parts which would combine with a tune to make 200hp.

$1500 might be a bit over, but $~900 for the Visconti tune, then the cost of some tuner of your choice.

I could be wrong but I don't think the $900 covers the cable either, which I believe is $350 if you plan on buying it. So it could hit that $1500 mark.

204whp thats my estimate...from a 160whp to 204whp i think thats a great increase for this car. on my tC2(2011+ tC) i purchased header intake exhaust pulley for total of about 1500 bucks. on a dyno i went from 158whp to 176whp. thats 18whp. Visconti's tune did that for 950(or 750 for those who were lucky enough to get the group buy). honestly ill be happy with 210-215 N/A thats my goal

$950 includes the cable.

Thanks for correcting me, I tried searching but couldn't find if it did or didn't.

I like to stick with NA, and 200+ WHP is all I am after. That will bring this car OUT of the "slow" catagory.

215hp/160lbs of torque is fine for me..others may want more but i dont need more than that but if i get more n/a ill gladly accept lol. Just the tune got me excited and i feel my car is more than capable now, so with an extra 25-30hp i can only imagine. with headers,catback,intake,pulley,e85 i think 215/160 is doable

E85 is not recommended on a stock engine. Plus you have to buy an E-85 tune.

haha....I meant to say: "That will bring this car OUT of the "slow" catagory".
Edited my original post.

Yes we all know that. But it doesn't include the fine tuning that someone would want to do AFTER adding bolt on modifications. It's a really good canned tune from a stock vehicle.

What he was trying to say was getting Visconti's original tune, and then paying a specific tune for the car specific parts, which would be an additional ~$300.

So he said STG1 tune = 950
He didn't know the cable was included so, cable +350
+ tune for specific parts +300

That is what sums up to about $1500.

Edit: @Synack beat me to it by miliseconds

Just seen that. My fault.
