I'm not planning on doing any other mods anytime soon, but when I do which mods fall into the category of re-tuning the PFC?

I'm currently looking at it from a conservative standpoint, my timing is not agressive as I'm more concerned about reliability rather than performance

so this is a list of when you HAVE to re-tune the powerFC due to reliability concerns rather than WANTING to re-tune for performance gains

specific mods don't have to be listed but categories or groups would be great

here are my thoughts, please correct me if I'm wrong

ignition - no
intake - yes
fuel system - yes
intercooler - no
turbo - yes
midpipe - yes

thanks,

Greg

 

Here's my thoughts on your list:

ignition - probably not but more efficient combustion might lean you out a bit -- if you are correctly tuned now, should be good

intake - yes, probably very little required

fuel system - should just require switching injector size and time delay

intercooler - YES, you will make more power with the intercooler as your temps will be cooler -- mild tuning

turbo - a single will require a bit of tuning, modified twins will be less

midpipe - yes

 

thanks ryan, but as far as the intercooler goes, even though the air temps will be cooler, not changing anything wouldn't have any ill effects, it would just not be taking advantage of the additional power ability, correct?

 

Cooler air means denser air = more power = running leaner.

None of those mods (except for the midpipe or going single turbo) will likely require that much additional tuning on an individual basis.

 

thanks for the help. that sums it up well.

 

don't think about turning up the boost without a bigger IC...the stock one is **** compared to aftermarket.
