well.. I installed mine BEFORE my tune and I was actually running just about right as far as lean/richness...

I set it to 19 lbs though..

After the custom tune, I am running 22 and it's just perfect.

So, I think you'll be just fine, just set it 1 or 2 lbs under stock.

1 or 2 lbs under stock? isn't the purpose of the mbc to raise boost?

Not sure why you're so worried about installing the MBC. You should have asked this question when you installed the intake for no reason. That's the part that is hurting you without a flash. The MBC can be added with or without a flash, exhaust, or intake. Set it at 20-21psi and be done.

Get the fuel pump before your tune. dont install the MBC unless you have a boost gauge.
