Hi everyone!

i want to reach around 400bhp

what would i need? im aiming to order this next week

Forge intercooler
Injen intake
Charge pipe/HKS Bov
Agency power catless downpipes
Agency power cat-back

would anything else be needed?

and then ofcourse would need mapping!.. what tuners would you recomend? i am based in the united kingdom! i was thinking about using thorneymotorsport as i have had previous experience with them! anybody used them? i belive the use superchips bluefin software..

also any info on jb3? who does this in the uk? do people install it themself

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

welcome to community well in your list u miss v5 (procede) or jb4 or flash it depends on your needs, so u can easy reach 400 hp even more i say about 450 hp now cobbs on a tune world but they do not support eu based models

procede or jb4 install is the same

[ErvGotti]

With those list of parts and a JB4 or procede you will hit the 400bhp no problem.

The procede or JB4 is an easy install that you can do yourself, any competent shop can do it for you if you're not the DIY kind of guy.

wheres the best place to get the jb4 from people? is there any uk dealers? what isit a simple plug into the obd port and load map onto car?

Two different kinds of tunes. The one your refering to is a flash tune and you will need a shop with the know how to do it, as it's not really a DIY tune. As far as who does it in the UK I'm not sure.
Though Cobb came out with a home flash, they currently do not support any cars not US spec'd.

The procede and the JB4 you would have to access the DME/ECU area. It's an actuall device/piggyback that hardwires into the ECU, and I believe is compatible with non US Spec'd cars.

We hit 400/428 on 92 octane with the following mods.

ETS DC Intake
ETS Charge Pipe
ETS Exhaust System
ETS Downpipes
ETS Intercooler
TiAL BOV
Procede V5 Autotune

Good luck man, you will be glad you picked up the car! I enjoy mine on the daily.

If you're looking for map loading via the obd port look into GIAC. I believe there are a few EU users on the forum running their software. GIAC is a flash (software) compared to a piggyback (hardware) like the JB4/Procede.

[BobS]

Like others have said, right now there are two methods of tuning, piggybacks and flashes. There are plenty of threads on here that discuss the pro's and con's of both. The popular piggybacks (procede and JB3/4) have to be installed by opening the DME and the popular flashs can be installed via the OBDII port. The GIAC flash requires a authorized GIAC shop to load the flash, the Cobb can be loaded by you at home.

If I were you, I would do a lot of research and do some reading on this forum before you make a decision. Good luck.

I would research the following to replace some of your choices:

Stett or UR Intake
AR, Macht Schnell, AA Downpipes

Unless you just have to have it, focus on the exhaust last as the stock exhaust is pretty free flowing. You'll just need dps
