Do you have any other modifications?

You might be able to squeeze about 4-5peak whp out of it if you're stock. Mid range power you might gain 8-10whp. AP1's respond a little better cause they run more rich than AP2s.

It'll give better gains with more mods.

+1. This will help you actually use the mods that you have done. Especially intake, test pipe and exhaust.

How hard are these things to work? Im not really 100% on how they work or what you can do with them but I have an AP2 with a T1R exhaust i just got and would love to tune it for it better, along with intake and test pipe im going to be getting

Basically is this part to complicated for a newb or could i have it set by a shop and leave it? or is it more of a tinkering all the time kinda thing

To install the VAFC, you'll either pay a shop to splice into your ecu harness or you can spend 150 bucks from boomslang to make a harness for you. I'd buy the harness if I were you cause you really don't want to mess up your ecu harness. It'll just plug inbetween the ecu and the factory harness http://www.boomslang.us

After installed and initially setup, I wouldn't tune it myself unless you have a wideband AFR gauge or an EGT gauge. Even with those, a dyno tune will be your best bet to get it tuned right. Road tunes aren't as good as dyno tunes. If you don't know how to tune it, its simple, but you'll be better off paying a tuner for an hour or so to get it done right.

Ya for sure seems like the harness is the way to go, And also have it dynoed for sure, now i just have to find a reputable shop, also its probably recomeneded i get all my other bolt on hop ups prior to getting this tuned like my test pipe headers and intake? Right now all i have is exhaust

Yep. Get all of your bolt ons before you get tuned with the VAFC. Changing something in your exhaust or intake can really change your AFR. Its best to get everything installed first, then get tuned. You'll get the best gains if you wait.

Buy the harness, trust me.

Have a shop that KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING do the tuning as well, don't try it yourself, you will be sorry.
