Question about getting a programmer..
 

Alright so I plan on buying an Edge Evolution programmer but wondering if I need a CAI first.

Thanks.

NO. Get your tuner first. On the 04 you will want a custom tune for a CAI if you chose to get one later. 04 are notorious for lean conditions caused by CAIs.

No and in fact unless you get custom tunes (which is a good idea) you should NOT get an aftermarket (warmer-air-than-stock under-the-hood-bling) intake.

A New Acronym is born! W A S U H O O B I ! :banana: :bows:

Pronounced ... "Wass - uh - Hoobi" -or- for the syllable-challenged, "Wa - shoobi" :lol:

Edge does not support aftermarket Wasuhoobi's. They even state as much, if asked.

Look elsewhere - recommendations in my sig.

If you want it NOW - choose VMP.

Alas, I am but a humble scribe. The real kudos need to go to Sir Shotgunz's inspirational genius :bows:

It will only be a matter of time before Wa-shoobi's for Sale begin appearing in the Classifieds ! :lol:

awesome. thanks guys, i was hoping that i wasn't going to have to buy one.
now i don't have the heritage model just so you guys know. i don't know if that makes a difference.

Hi bud.

Yes it does, actually.

The Heritage models use a MAF that looks like this:

Non-Heritage models use a MAF that looks like this:

The first houses the actual MAF in it's own controlled venturi environment. This is largely impervious to intake nods (within reason).

The second relies upon the aftermarket Wa-shoobi's implementation of where the slot-style MAF will reside - and it's almost always suboptimal and requires correction for the resultant MAF TF skew.

Look for the Gotts mod in the How To subforum.....

well wait....if i do the gotts mod, will i still need to do a custom tune?

No you wont.

Ok, i really just don't want to run too lean and then ****ing burn a hole in my pistons
