    If you install a full turboback system do you NEED a tune or reflash? I suspect that its highly recommended but I am wondering of you have to have it right away.

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Sorry forgot to add: Yes - 02 2.0l bugeye stock engine. Currently has a N1 or N1 like system installed onto stock shorty downpipe. 3rd cat has been eliminated by this system

    I would tune it, you essentially made it louder. Now make the car more fun, I mean thats why you put the turboback on right?

    A tune is not necessary, but is always better to have than not.

    Its not NECESSARY, just be easy on it until you can get a tune. Its definitely the best way to go.

    I would spend a bit more to get UpPipe/DownPipe then tune. Now you really notice a difference in performance from Stage1 or stock. I like my low end power, from stage1, when I got my Stage2.
