**madmaestro** · 03-22-2010, 10:44 PM

i would really like to increase my torque and horse power on my 2003 celica and my neighbor say to go with a tuning tool kind of thing.... any sugestions?

**cbcelica** · 03-22-2010, 11:09 PM

u mean like a tuning chip? there are none made for our celicas. and dont buy one of the ebay "chips" they are junk. There are actually a few thread on here right now about performance mods, check em out

**madmaestro** · 03-23-2010, 02:05 AM

alrite will do thanks dood

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 08:14 AM

for a "tuning tool" look into the apexi power fc.

**akley88** · 03-23-2010, 08:16 AM

although u wont get much out of the car till you do some mods to it.

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 08:24 AM

there is also the greddy line. the apexi offers adjustment of the cross over point if you have a gts

that would be handy to have for the gts

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 08:37 AM

yeah, the best part is that you can order it with pre programmed maps for the specific car.

**subspec** · 03-23-2010, 08:49 AM

id watch out for that . my ecu said it would come with a base tune but in the box it said be sure to load the base tune lol. so it maybe not preloaded.

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 08:50 AM

very true, good point sub. but I would prob just get the c-one power ecu, then go from there.

**subspec** · 03-23-2010, 09:54 AM

if you dont have a heavly level of mod's theres really no use for piggybacks or chip upgrades imo.

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 02:56 PM

nah, the c-one, is a complete ecu, and can be used on a flat out stock set up.

**madmaestro** · 03-23-2010, 08:50 PM

ya unfortunatly atm i have no mods what so ever but im hopen to get a legit turbo or sumthing but i dont really know much about that kind of stuff

**akley88** · 03-23-2010, 09:06 PM

which version do you have. for turbo kits there are basically two places to go monkeywrenchracing.com or turbokits.com

**madmaestro** · 03-27-2010, 07:45 PM

**madmaestro** · 03-27-2010, 07:45 PM

**akley88** · 03-27-2010, 09:14 PM
