Some Mod Questions for a newb....
Ok, So obviouslly I'm new to this whole world here. Here's the story, my father bought an 05, a couple of months ago. It was all stock besides the Borla that was added to it. Once he got it I purchased him a K&N cold air for it, and that is the way she sits today. My dad isn't to savvy with the internet so I have to be his interpreter. So now that is out of the way....
So I'm interested in doing an ecu upgrade, or something of that nature. I'm a VW guy and I know you can have the ecu's re flashed for HP and Torque gains. I was wondering if it is the same for the C5. If so what company's are out there, what kind of gains are there, where can i start looking basically. any insight would be awesomely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
