Is it worth getting a tune?
Is it worth getting a tune?
Ok so i got and 03 sendan with some small mods: exhaust/test pipes/ plenum spacer/ throttle body spacer/ and intake. I was hoping the tune mite help everything flow together a little better and maybe even help on the MPG part a bit. I have talked to a few people who own a tuning shop and they have told me that i should do a tune and then i got a neighbor whos got a shop as well and he told me that i shouldnt waist the money because it would not really make a difference. But when ever im on here and researching, everyone is always saying to get the tune and it made a big difference for them. I guess what im asking is for a really good explanation as to why you think i should or should not get it and what benefits or improvements did you see after getting the tune? thanks

I def think a tune would benefit your car. They offer a lot more benefits that just a HP increase. If you're loooking at Osiris here are some other benefits you gain:
OSIRIS STANDARD
Osiris Standard includes Cipher and utilizes the Cipher cable to reflash and communicate with the vehicle through the OBDII Diag Port. Osiris Standard also includes Map Switching allowing you to use different tunes for different situations and 3 eTune updates you can use at any time.
Osiris Standard is a licensed based system meaning your license will be transferred to the first ECU that is flashed. This vehicle can then be flashed as many times as the user wants, but the flash will not work on any different vehicles. One additional license can be purchased at a discount for enthusiasts that may have more than one vehicle, contact us for details.
Parameters that we will tune include:
Up to 5 Maps on cruise control equipped vehicles
Idle RPM
Speed Limiter
Electronic Throttle Control to achieve Wide Open Throttle at all speeds.
Rev Limiter
DTC disable
AFR Targets
Fuel Compensation
Ignition Timing
AdvanceCam Phasing for equipped vehicles.

only thing left for him is a LSD rear end with diffrent ratio. headers and cam... might be too costly and not worth the HP along with boost.
exhaust, test pipe, plenum spacer/ TB spacer/ intake... I dont think there is anymore cheaper mods out there, headers are a paint to install, cams are something not everyone can do...

IMO a tune would help driveability and could increase power under the curve. He/She definatly wont gain a ton of power but a few HP across the board would be worth it.
dang the orignal post was painful to read..
Tune will net u the Most gains, for the $. No bolt on mod will score u that much whp.
With all ur boltons ive seen ppl gain 10-15whp, on base dyno, and ive seen ppl gain upto 20whp on top of that, just by osiris tune after their boltons.
