Adding a RAI and needing a tune?

Post by jscherf92 »

If i were to buy a cosmo racing RAI, would it be in my best interest to get the new air levels checked with a basic fuel tune? How would i go about doing this? (Im new to performance mods) and i have an 05 base if that matters.

You don’t need a tune. You will have benefits just from less restriction in the intake. You can if you want to. Do you have an aftermarket ECU?

no tune needed. But if you want MORE power you'd need a tune. A tune will be able to get more power out of the intake and other parts, but it not necessary .
