Trigger Pull on GTM SC 1.5
I've definitely decided based on some user input, that I'd like to go the SC route. I'm looking at the GTM SC 1.5 stage. My question is (and all input is welcome, good or bad) what supporting mods if any, would I need to purchase along with the kit.
And is the only difference between the tuner and the turn key the fuel and engine management? And if it is...would I need to purchase a separate fuel and engine management with the tuner kit? Or is that something that comes along with the actual tune? |

Good question, and if you have a stick it would be a good idea to change the clutch while your doing the install.

To sum it all up, go with the turn key kit. It will add extra peace of mind. Not sure if u read up enough to go this route. Don't skimp out on anything. Turn key kit will be the easiest way to go for you specifically.

I highly recommend buying the turnkey kit because I feel that you will save more money in the long run, and it has everything you need. Go to GTM's site and see what the difference is between the two. As Red6spd stated, it would be a good idea to upgrade your clutch during the install. I also recommend buying some good non-resonated test pipes (not the Art test pipes because of filter fittament issues and such). The last things I recommend are, finding a good installer/tuner, having plenty of patience, and at least 5 grand on top your proposed FI budget just in case things don't go as planned. I made this brief because there is plenty of info for you to research out there. Good luck, and keep us updated!
