u can also take it somewhere and get it tuned u have everything u need. or can tune it urself roughly using the wideband and the neo, adjust the neo so you stay at 11.1-11.3 under full boost and u should be good. you will probably spend just as much changing ur tuning setup as u would getting it tuned somewhere. just my .02

You dont have to remove the radio, the carpet pieces on the side of the console have to removed. The ecu is held in place by 3 bolts.

You have an apexi neo and that could be enough. I would go with dsmchip but you could be fine for now.

The ECU is behind the kickpanel. And here is the difference in the ECUs with and without eprom

well i was told that in the past it has been tuned through the fuel injectors. which isnt the best way to tune it...i didnt know and i guess they didnt know either that you can tune it with the neo or the wideband? i might need a little bit more info on that.

about the dsm chip should i go with that over getting dsm link and being able to tune it myself whenever i need to?

sorry im so clueless to all this but thanks for all the help guys its awesome.

There are so many ways to go abt tuning a car, just try searching on google. Once you understand how each works and how much they are then you can decide. But for now w/ the neo and wideband you should be able to get a decent tune. Your gonna also want to get a logger too.
