Plain and simple.

Reflash?

or....

Skunk2 Intake Mani / Race Headers?

I drive an 02 ep3 btw.

 

no need for intake manifold. if you already have a CAI then I'd go with a RH and then save up for k-pro. So if in the future you want other mods like RBC, injectors, cams, boost, or engine swap you can instead of wasting money now on a reflash which still doesn't truly tune your car to "its" particular spec and then spending more money for a different flash or k-pro later.

 

Rbc doesnt do much for the a3

 

well, i'd get kpro if i could find it cheap. im probably not going to gonna do much with it because all of my money is going towards school.

i have an aem short ram, CAI's have bad luck here. we have flooding problems lol.

 

I would say intake and race header. I gained 22whp over stock and I got them both for like $220 or so. Keep and eye out for a used DCRH and get a good intake.

 

I used to rock a cai in indiana. I lived in south bend while i was attending ND. Had an ek no ptoblems with water in my intake

 

I had a CAI on my EG and that thing was slammed and I never had a problem either and I live in Seattle haha. I would still rather not take the risk. Maybe get a CAI for the summer months and a SRI for the rest of the year, that's what I do for my EP.

 

Yeah, the weather itself isnt bad. it's just the roads around here are notorious for rippin' homies with CAI. My cousin used to have a built twin turbo 300zx, until he hit these little puddles hahaha.

i guess since then i've been weary.

 

I agree with Paz, save up and get Kpro. Getting the reflash is a waste of money, you do other mods down the road and then have to get it reset, where with Kpro, you can do it yourself (if you know how).

 

Race Header and K-Pro...or move to some suspension upgrades.

 

as far as suspension goes, i just have some tein s-techs.

i also have this DC thing. im not sure what it's called? Tie-rod connector? im not sure, im terrible with names and titles. i can take a picture of it and you can tell me what it is, haha.

 

id say do the reflash imo

 

you are really making it too hard on yourself...
