it does. dont have to explain it, the engineers did that research not me. ALSO if you start at Y temperature and dont change the turbo or intercooler you get X temperature at the head. than you install a CAI which changes Y -10degrees it almost directly translates to X-10degrees. its not rocket science. if the middle of the thermal equation is the same than its really easy to change the ends of it. it always takes the same ammount of energy within a given range to manipulate temperature.
and for the dam record. subaru owners are the ONLY owners in large numbers that believe the fallacy of needing to be tuned under every circumstance. mits owners dont buy it. porsche owners dont buy it. honda owners for sure dont buy it. why do subaru owners? because most of the boards are controlled by tuners and their loyal followers that are in it to make money.
people need to get over the dam fact that you need a tune for every dam part you add.
i ran normal stage 2 map for over 2 years. i had a front mount, cai, twin vent bpv, no cat, headers, turbo inlet and probably some shit im forgetting. I had the car "checked up on" (IE datalogged) and it was fuckin fine.
you buy shitty parts then yeah im sure your car needs a tune cause the RD by the no name brand consisted of "DANG thats a big filter! lets stuff it in the fender!". quality parts cost money for a reason. listen to the maker of said parts when youre asking yourself if you need a tune. end of story. yeah you can chase that last 3-4 horsepower and lie to yourself to the point where you are spending 200 dam dollars for a tune after installing a new sparkplug just cause you are scared. but ill bet you a free tune that ill wind up with more power and a shitton less money spent. not to mention not a single problem.
