Default What year are you?

If you just want a regular k04 chip, go GIAC. But there are stronger ones out there that you will like more.

If you are 97-99.5 then you can get the pc16 file, which is from GIAC. AWE offers is. If you are 2000 you can get the file j31 which is from GIAC. You would have to go to your local GIAC tuner for that file.

With either of these files you will need to run bigger injectors, adj. FPR, and a FMIC is highly recomended.

Default what about MTM? Although you would have to buy the whole package.

that is the MTM K04 setup, everything from the head back is modified, the exhaust mani, a new K04, new cat, DP, exhaust, FPR, spark plugs, and ECU 245hp and 264ft pound of torque.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hoppenmotorsport.com/a418ttuning.htm">Hoppen - MTM</a></li></ul>

Default

Why not PC-16? Its not worth it to go to the regular K04 file, IMO.

Default i hope you're right!

though once you add the cost of an FMIC, a bumper to accommodate the FMIC, injectors... it gets up there quickly.

Default that's still below that of the PC-16, though, which keeps the same mani

you should be upgrading exhaust with a K04 anyhow.
