    Quick Question about stage 1 (used search)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My car has about 87K miles on it its an 04 USP auto, I'm thinking of doing unitronic stage 1 chip, and buying a dv from the dealer. I'm a college student have a job and working for my next car, which I plan to buy in two years. I want to get a little bit out of the car for the next two years.

    The question is with such high mileage will I have to change the coilpacks or sparkplugs pretty much when I get chipped or is the car going to be fine? If so I'm probably going to save the money towards the next car.

    When I searched I got mixed reviews it seems some do some dont.

    Thanks in Advance

    Nobody knows, buy if you still got the stock coilpack, most likely they will got out pretty fast. Same thing about the spark plugs

    sparkplugs for sure. Coilpacks would be recommended

    sparkplugs how many should I buy and where? Coilpacks I read can be bought at the Vdub dealership for like 50-60$ anywhere else? cheaper maybe?

    ....Usually you buy as many spark plugs as you have cylinders so 4. Autozone.
    coil packs are around 45 each

    Im sorry I dont understand this logic. You dont mind spending 400 bucks on the tune but to buy parts that usually go along with a maintenance tune up youd rather not bother at all?

    I would buy Hitachi "E" coil packs from ECS tuning. Its better to have good packs to put back in instead of waiting to get new ones after they blow. Im sure by now you know to have a spare coil in your trunk, stock or chipped.
