Alright so Ive been wondering my X has testpipe, exhaust and Aem intake so I was wondering if tunning it now would be the best or should I add a few more things? if so what should I add ...? remember we are in a recession... Shit!!!!

Tuning alone will add a lot more power, ofcourse adding the I/C piping will help too along with a dp

definetly a downpipe... and a boost controller unless you want to go with ECU Boost...

Downpipe seems to be the way to go .....whats the difference between boost controller and ecuboost...( Excuse my noobness I came from all motor eg6 families.Honda....)so turbo 4x is totally new

I second that, Downpipe, and ECU Boost I think is more idiot proof, no pun intended. This allows the Tuner to dial in the Boost and not You. Most people with Manual Boost Controllers get a little greedy, then things go "POP". So spend a little more for the DP, and the Tuner will do the ECU Boost for you. For a little more $$.

You dont need a boost controller unless you plan to adjust boost. The X holds boost great on ECUboost and the right tuner...

It depends... if your months away from a bunch of parts then tune it but if you are buying here and there then tune after

There are a lot of tuners out there, but Road Race Engineering is the only place to tune my car.

Lots of good tuners for sure, but RRE is very good, one of the best no doubt. Tuning Technoligies is another, and Reese Tuning is my personal favorite. Just depends on where you live, and who is closest. My Car will only See James At Reese Tuning.

I say if you are getting parts soon, dont get a tune yet.
Get an AEM intake, a full tbe. and get tuned =)

Everyone has their preferred tuners,
Charlie @ C Spec does a great job. I can vouch for his work.
pm him and get a price for a tune.
