Should I go for it?
Hey guys need some help here making a decision. This is going to be a long one sorry lol. I’ve been saving to get my car retuned for the parts I’ve been gathering and have had on stash for a little while now. Every time I have enough money to tune it. I wind up adding more to the list of parts 😂 kind of like what I want to do right now 😅. I’ currently pretty much have enough money to get tuned now, but I’m debating pushing it off a bit longer to upgrade my turbo and fuel system. I currently have in my possession a Grimmspeed 3 port ebcs, Fujitsubo elh, HKS high flow cat, AEM water/methanol injection, Koyorad racing radiator, AA Performance tgv and egr delete, and a Perrin turbo sump restrictor waiting to be installed. My main issue I guess is not wanting to pay…
Honestly man, I think deep down you already know the answer 😂
If you’re already sitting there thinking “I’m probably gonna want more right after the tune,” then there’s a really good chance you will. Especially with the part list you already have. That setup’s solid enough where the car is absolutely gonna wake up, but once you feel it, your brain’s immediately gonna start wondering what the bigger turbo would feel like.
And honestly paying for tuning twice in a short window hurts way worse than waiting a little longer and doing it all at once. That money adds up FAST once you start stacking dyno time, revisions, labor, etc.
That said… there’s also something to be said for actually ENJOYING the car now instead of permanently living in “one more part” mode. A lot of us get stuck there and accidentally spend 2 years building a car we barely drive because we’re chasing the “perfect” setup before ever having fun with it.
