if you have enough money for a tune i would definietly get an mrev2 and spacer first. it will be well worth your money and if you got them later you would have to retune to get their full benefit anyway

The only real hp comes from FI. not going there yet. if I can pick up 20 or 30 with the fi exhaust, hfc's, ssv and a tune I will be happy for now.

I did my homework on the ssv. I know I am going to get little gains on NA but it looks and sounds sick and I figure with a tune I can get a better A/F ratio at high rpm to make the ssv actually do something.

oh i guess i forgot to type i would switch out the ssv... the mrev2 has shown itself to be the best bang for the buck n/a mod out there really, if you want tons of power throughout the rpms i would def suggest that.

but either way you also didnt say what you want to be tuned with

I got my tuned at Zcar and EIP at two different occasion with Osiris.

If anyone is interested I have an MREV2 for sale. It probably has 1k mile on it. Also I have a Powerlab 3/8 spacer i can put in for a package deal. Shoot me a PM, it'll be off the car end of next week.

get the spacer. and for intake it all depends on if you want sound or pure "power". if you want sound look into the jwt, if you want an inbetween get the stillen, if you want the "power" keep stock with k&n. no need for the mrev with your car.
