I don't understand your question...

Are you asking if you should disconnect the battery when you install an intake? My answer would be yes. I think of it as installing new software on a computer. But I'm sure you don't have too.

Programmer? What are you talking about? Specifiy your question.

well I am half asleep as we leave Hawaii. I meant to say tune . Is it neccessary to retune the computer after an Setup REPLACEMENT.I was told if I take it in to the shop they will set the computer up to fatory specs. A programmer lets you set the limits of shift points etc... and removes rev limiter

I did both of these on my 2001 and did not have to take it anywhere. The computer adjusts itself and it works just fine. Don't think I have ever read of anyone "linking" their ECU to refine the specs.

Just drive and it will use the better breathing and farting to your pleasure! laugh

The computer will re-learn eventually. The best idea is to disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes or disconnect the battery and hit the brake pedal for a couple of minutes to drain it faster.

That way it will reset the ECU and you'll have a better impression of what effect the new mod has accomplished.
