upgrades

[Butterfly]

So, I'm looking into my next upgrades, I heard exhausts up your HP but lower your torque? Also How would i upgraded to a dinan chip, I heard i have to send my car computer? I have no idea where that is. Finally should a chip be a final upgrade because other parts would effect everything the chip messes with?

most exhausts dont do much of anything but make a lotta noise. you can free up a little more power sometimes, but its very minor. as for a loss of torque, i have never heard that before, and find it hard to believe.

Whats your plans for the car? If your just thinking about exhaust, intake and chip it really doesn't matter which one you do first. You can buy a chip from places like www.turnermotorsport.com The install should take you less then 30minutes (5min if you done it before)

First of all i don't want my car sounding, real loud like a muscle car or ricer. I do want to chip it, was going to do Dinan or Upsolute. But I also plan to turbo or supercharge it in about a year, would that throw the chips programing off?

uhh with a turbo or supercharger it had better come with different software or say goodbye to your motor

save your money for the forced induction. anything you do to the car now before you go FI will be redone or done differently when you go FI.

software for FI is SPECIFIC to that particular setup. there is no universal turbo chip or universal supercharger chip, think of them as fingerprints that are unique to each specific kit or custom solution.
