Just wondering for the redhard stage 2 kit, is it completely bolt on, in the sense that I can order the complete kit from a authorized dealer and install it and it will run fine at 7psi. Or do I need to purchase additional products? (Anyone that has this exact kit instaled on the same car can you please give me a msg, I would like to talk to you. or email me at fonerr@shaw.ca)

I plan on getting a Boostgauge/AFR gauge and Oil temp/pressure Does anyone recommend good meters and pod, any concern with autometer?

How does one go about tuning this kit once it is installed or is there even a need for tuning?

 

There is always a need for tuning with any kit you buy. There are very few kits on the market that include a fully tuned engine management solution and the ones that do are usually just piggy backs that are medicore at best.

The Revhard kits only come with a FMU which is ok for low boost but still doesnt mean you can throw it on and go. The fuel pressure needs to be tuned using a wideband (not an autometer AFR gauge!).

Contact a local shop with a dyno or some tuners on this board.

 

Muck: What gauges do you suggest getting, I was thinking a boost gauge, AFR gauge and a oil temp/pressure gauge.

Will it be even possible to drive the car to the tuning shop once the kit is installed or will it have to be tuned immediately after the kit is on?

 

AFR gauges are only useful if you have a wideband O2 sensor.
My picks would be Wideband AFR, Boost, Oil.
If you dont have a wideband then Id go with EGT, Boost, Oil

Its safe to drive untuned, but its not safe to boost untuned.
