a tune would be your best bet go check that site out, and leave Doug a message. Better yet why not give him a call? Since he takes a while to reply to emails, since he really busy. Good luck

There is no "chip" in these cars. You want to pick up a tuner and upload a new tune.

You say you have an intake already? What kind? The majority of the intakes requirea new tune. These cars are terribly sensitive to changes and are very computer dependant. A bad tune is worse than no tune.

diy = do it yourself

A tuner is a handheld programing device that changes a variety of things on the cars computer. The device uses OBDII Technology which, if you look under your steering wheel below your dash panel you will see a port which is where the device plugs into.

All you have to do is order a tuner and tune from a company and they will send you everything you need and then you plug the handheld tuning device(SCT X-Cal2) into the OBDII port and load the new tune.

For the best information call a tuner, although a canned tune(guesstimate tune) is give or take IMO although it does make a difference.
