I'm thinking air leak somewhere, or a bad sensor.

how the hell did it cracked?
does it have something to do with the horrible picture you posted? lol

just a tune for a n/a, i'd say about 10-15whp the most.

A tune will not add much HP, but will increase performance.  It will let you use the ponies you have, by removing the grannie controls.  My tune was a 1 hp difference, and .8 difference in a quarter mile.

Talk with Dave at DDM, he will explain what the tune will do for you. They also have a dyno. Put it on see what you get, before and after. Then you will KNOW what your increase is.

I have the NA Tune and I will be the first to tell you that the power may not be huge, but it comes on fast. It definitely makes a difference. Best money I ever spent for modding the car until now!
