    Very DIY, 10 minute job.

    Won't give massive gains in power, but will probably be more responsive and better fuel economy. I think its Greenfoam that does the V6s? Hit him up.

    yeah the memcal thing is easy and definitely gives a noticable difference. It's simply a matter of removing the passenger foot well kick panel, and TADA there's the puter. Remove that, open the service panel and swap the memcal. Reset the system by removing the main fuses and you're done. When you start up let it sort out all the sensors and return to idle. piece of pie
    I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere
