Most people gain around 10wph or more. It's definately worth it and each car is unique. Helps more if you have lots of mods done.

to tune it properly you need to use a dyno.

Not necessarily, there are always a few more options.

You can just purchase an Apex-i turbo timer. It gives of a digital number reading of your a/f. This way cruise down your street a couple of times and tune it to that. IMO it's better then paying 125 for dyno tune down here.

it's not that hard, just go to your dealer or someone who knows their **** and ask what the correct a/f ratio is for our cars. Then adjust.
