Opinions on whether I should go with..

Hello all,
my question is that I have done some mods to my car. But I am getting my torque arm inserts installed Friday, finally. So what I want to do is, I wanted to buy the Sprint Booster but now I don't know if I should if I am going to buy later this month or beginning of next month the NM tune. Please help with any advice or opinions so I can make up my mind what I really should go with! Thanks!

If you're planning on buying a remote tuner like the Access Port you don't even need a Sprint Booster. The tuner can alter the throttle pedal maps just like a Sprint Booster. You don't get a whole lot for how much you pay for a Sprint Booster. For half the price of an ECU tune you're getting different throttle maps and that's it.

I would not even buy a tune until you buy a better intercooler. The intercooler is a must have mod that goes hand-in-hand with a higher boost tune. The factory intercooler is sooooooooooo small

Okay thanks Shane, I will be definitely doing that first probably by winter time. I am going all suspension for the mean while til then because I will be doing the exhaust and then tune after.
