hi all

have just recently brought a v9 sti, i was think about doing basic mods and maybe a retune and leave it at that. so far its got a turboback exhaust and bov. can anyone tell me would it be safe/wise to put a hks intake kit on for now and do a tune later down the line? would the pipe itself cause any issues with the afm without a tune? also would be worth the money since the v9 already accelerates like a rocket (quite literally)

thanks

I had one on my V7 when i bought it. Was one of the first things i got rid of.

Like Boon said you'll make a bit less power but have nice suction noise.

I personally felt my car went better when i went back to factory airbox with high flow panel filter.

But yeah, in the end its up to you.

oh ok. i probably wont bother than. in regards with tuning, will the v9 benefit with ecu reflash as is? or will the difference be so minor its not worth it?

Probably one of the best things you could do as a bang for buck mod

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
