Intake after tune?

I was just wondering if i put my blitz sus intake on, after i got a custom dyno tune reflash would it hurt anything? All i have done is turbo back, mbc, custom reflash and put down 315whp at TT. I know on some cars if you put on an intake after a tune it can throw off the air fuel ratio. But iam new to evo's soo just want to see what you guys think.

thanks !

Do the intake first. Don't add one afterwards. There's no reason to do it anyway...

They make little power and can lead to hassles with the dealer if you cruise up with warranty issues and they pop the hood and looking them right in the eye is this intake.

Oiled filters can lead to MAF problems, others like foam have poor filtration. There are a number of reasons why not when it comes to intakes for the Evo.

A good clean paper filter is hard to beat.
