Looking for some advice on my build. The only thing I have done to my 1.8 LT is install a K&N CAI (looking into headers and full exhaust next). I notice a slight difference in performance and it sounds better... sometimes. I notice after about a month the performance has been pretty much back to how it was stock. Read on here that mods such as cai and exhaust need a tune first and any mods without a tune will go back to stock.
1. Is there any issue with doing a tune AFTER installing a cai, exhaust ect rather than doing the tune first?
2. Also, with the K&N cai i notice that the acceleration laggs and there is a hesitation from the time I hit the accelerator to when the power seems to kick in and go. Same with the sound of the cai, accelerator needs to be more heavily pressed to hear the intake.
3. I am a rookie when it comes to tunes. If there is a tune for dummies thread, any links or advice and steps to take someone can pass my way to help me out that would be awesome. I come across Trifecta and BNR all over this forum and have read good things about both.
Thanks in advance for the help.
