Question do i need to reset my ECU?/

Can someone tell me really quick if i need to reset the ECU if i just put in the JWT pop charger in? i know this is probably been already covered but i need an answer asap. I found how to do it with the brake pedal. is that the right way to do it. also if i reset the ecu will i need to do anything else beside resetting the radio stations and clock? thanks in advance

If your intake actually changes the airflow rate, the AFM will give that data to the ECU.

No, you do not need to reset it.

If you do reset it, the only things that will change are the stations/clock and maybe the homelink settings (not sure on that)

Homelink stays.

Reseting wont hurt, but it might not help either.

Its a personal Call.

ecu will reset itself in a few days of driving around. The same with underdrive pulley install.

How is the car running? OK? Leave the ECU alone.

IIRC the target is 650 with +/- 250 RPM leeway.
