Unleashed 2 bar tune... Switch to 3 bar???

[MFRMSHO]

Hello all! New to the forum here!
I just purchased a 2013 non PP and installed an Unleashed 91 oct tune only.
I am pleased with the new found power from the Unleashed tune, however, I am wondering how much power I left on the table by not going with the 3 bar MAP sensor. For ~$80, will I notice a significant increase in performance, or should I put that $$$ toward another mod (mufflers would be my next option... Very budget conscious at the moment...)

I really appreciate any insight!

Welcome to SHOforum. A 3 bar MAP is definitely worth it CX2231, you can snag on EBay or Rockauto or Tasca or Levittown sites for under $60 shipped I think. Allows for better air metering and boost control, which translates into better/more performance. Add a cooler stat to really raise performance to the next level.

Mufflers/CAIs are not really a performance mod, more a looks/sound mod. Downpipes would be a performance mod that a tune can take full advantage of.

For return on investment, can't beat MAP & colder TStat combo.

There are 2 MAPs, make sure to replace the one on top of the intake manifold next to the throttle body.

Here's what the 3 Bar pkg should look like:

I'd do the stat first. It helps keep the car cooler under long pulls and heavier loads. I added the 3bar at the same time and have only hit the track once, but did not see the performance gain I was hoping for. Still, Torrie had sent me a new tune that I haven't got to track test yet.
