You need to find someone in SA with the tactrix cable so that they can read your rom and send it off to RPW. After you have payed RPW they will send you back a modified rom which you then upload back into your car.

As to who has a tactrix cable in SA im not too sure..perhaps other members can help out here?

But I think after the improper distribution of RPW's modified files, RPW have since said that they will only distribute it to certain people who will read and reflash onto your car. I'm not too sure who is in charge of that in SA.

I think RPW have authorize Steve Knight for SA. I don't know how much would he charge on top the RPW's tune for his time though.

I have the required cables and software to read and write to SA members cars and as Troy (aspir3) will tell you, i work closely with SKR on these things :)

Leave it with me to sort some thing out for SA members to get the rpw tune.

I will talk to Steve next week and David at RPW to work out a cost for all members.

I would say the CAI should have come first.
Essentially the K&N filter will be a white elephant now if you buy the CAI.

Since you already have a K&N,
why not do up your exhaust?
The GReddy SE is prime money but it is as good as it costs. Either that or go custom. RPW apparently also sell a very good single tip exhaust. The stock single tip exhaust is one of the most restrictive parts of the car.

Then if you're still feeling rich, perhaps a new set of headers from our member SAM-24A (Lancer Speed Works) would help you.

I was gunna go Intake and exhaust, then tune? is that the right approach or doesn't it matter?

Of course with reference to headers do remember that RPW also manafacture the best 4-1 system on the market. Many members are using these with great success as well :)
