Unless it comes with stickers, and you apply said stickers to vehicle in question

That's what I thought was weird too, UpRev wants you to say if you have one or not as apparently they must alter the tune a bit if you use a tbs??? So maybe UpRev could chime in and tell us if their tune with the TBS gives another HP or not???

60hp minimum! The extra velocity provided by the TBS, is parallel in comparison to a Stillen Supercharger
