Re: 1 st turbo build.

most people here will tell you to chip/tune the ecu

some like bitchasscracker will tell you for low boost you don't need to. but i'm not sure what components he recommends afc? fpr?

but i believe he still agrees that you need to at least throw a wideband on it to make sure it's 'tuned'

pros and cons of all options are explained very well in the stickies though. everything else is just personal opinion which does nothing for reliability ease or cost.

in short, read up bitch

IMO you should as stated read stikys and you can tune your own ecu dont be scared to try if you blow ---- up try agian just dont do what you did last time. NO one woke up in the morning and knew how to tune they all started just like you and me atleast thats how i think of it. Look into diy tuning
