Some Upgrades Coming my way
So I have been reading and reading tons of useful information regarding modifying your car. Whether it be NA or Boosted it seems that the best and first mod that anyone should get is a Piggy Back Computer.
I've read about so many different applications but my question is. Best bang for your buck. To be able to be used in both a NA or a Boosted environment.
And don't say search unless you tried yourself. The other day I was searching for Veilside Side Wings, and everything from BBQ wings to Hot wings came up pages and pages of un-related stuff. It was funny reading, but come on...
Thoughts? Discuss.

Even with engine management, this is a very important question.

N/A - Reflash, Utec
FI - Utec, F-Con, Etc.
Piggybacks arent worth a ****, especially if you are going FI. I dont know where you read tons of information on modifying your car but if you would have read this forum you would have known that already.

Regardless there are other mods you can do before messing with engine management OP. wouldn't waste money on a reflash or UTEC if i'm bone stock. start with the basic stuff, plenum spacers, popchargers, and high flow cats/test pipes. then start thinking about UTec, it can be useful if youre running full bolt ons with cams (almost necessary with cams).
I'm a Computer Engineer and I would have fun just tinkering, understanding and later tuning my own car. 1 Step at a time though.
