What can i install myself before the tune?

bulldog8567 · 07-19-2008, 01:39 PM

I was wondering if someone can help me out. I am going from stock to sz55+supporting mods and was wondering how much of these parts i can install myself.

I would like to do the installs myself to get to know my car more and to save some cash. I do have a 3 hour drive to get my car tuned after any of the parts are installed so i don't want to screw anything up.

Here is a list of my parts
Cobb AP v2
sz55 w/tial 38mm ewg
one step colder spark plugs
pe850cc injectors
gt spec headers with uppipe
APS FMIC (don't have this yet but probably buying this weekend)
air/oil separator
samco turbo inlet
perrin big maf intake
aps 3" tbe
walbro fuel pump
perrin mbc

i am hoping to do as much as i can and have the boost turned way down for the 3 hour drive...any suggestions on what i should leave for the shop?

op you can install every part you have listed. just have your tune send you a limp mode map. sound like a nice build gl

Im pretty sure the ones I bolded should be ok. A couple more might be ok. Also, don't forget to call your tuner and ask them what they think. They may even let you do some innstalling in their parking lot if you ask niceley enough.

all of them can be installed, like layza4sti said. just get a map from your tuner and you'll be set.
