Should i get the Visc. tune or wait to get an intake and exhaust before i get the tune? any suggestions?

intake and exhaust first.

Get all of your bolt on parts on, then you can specifically tune the car to get the most out of your parts and also wake up the engine. Look into Ecutek also.

For example, I plan on getting an intake, headers, overpipe, front pipe, exhaust, etc. Then tune the car.

Do you wipe before or after you poop?

as said, mod parts first then tune. Love the poop reference!! lmfao!!

if your thinking about getting one of the ECUtek tunes I would disagree with everyone else and say tune first! all the tuners will update your tunes when you send data logs with new parts if needed.

If you read into each of the threads for each tuner (Perrin, Visconti, FA20Club) from the tuner them selves directly and customers that have bought and reported feed both suggest a tune will provide you more results than intake or exhuast.

The tune will bring your car to life, your overall power band smooths out and you instantly have more response and power from the motor.

Based on multiple threads on here the argument is that Intakes so far prove not very worth the money in terms of bang for the buck.

I have all three mods, I would firmly say based on my experience the tune was and is the best mod I have done to the Car.

Just my 2cents!

I would get a intake and then a tune (look into unichip), since a exhaust wont really gain anything from a tune.

I have Intake, exhaust et 2 tune one from Perrin and one from FA20club and if you ask me, the tune was the most mouth droping and by far, you won't reconize your car.

And yes the will update your tune after you install other mods and they did for me and power wise I did'nt see too much difference. So tune first if money is your concern, and people that say otherwise probably don't have it.

Get the tune. The car will even sound better.

usptwins · 01-30-2013, 06:14 PM

So, would you put bigger pistons in an engine before or after you bore it?? Get the bolt-ons, then tune. You can get it tuned especially for the intake and exhaust you have. Be smart..

If you're a high roller just get them all at once!

FR-S Matt · 01-30-2013, 06:37 PM

Get all your parts in then get a LOCAL tune.

Local tune > mapped tunes. Not by much, but they're specifically for YOUR car.
