- Sat Feb 08, 2014 7:03 pm #342376 Greetings eg gurus. Im planning to install a cold air intake. Question?- would i need a tune after or before installation? The mechanic said that he already tuned it so all he needs to do is install the CAI. would he need to tune it after instalation too? Need experienced advice please.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

hopefully he aint charging you for a tune. cause from the sounds of it they trying to get you to pay more for just a quick bolt on intake. did you ask him what he "tuned"? or did you just take his word for it?

Do not take your car to this guy again. Sounds like he wants to milk you for every penny you are worth.
