Install the LICP and then accomplish the boost leak test. UICP would result in minimal gains and is really not worth the money. Do you even have a boost gauge installed? If you dont, definitely put that in before your tune.

You can pick up a Nisei LICP prior to tune IF you want. But atleast put in your boost gauge, this way you can actually see if your gauge correlates with the actual boost reading when you get dyno tuned.

I have the stock MR gauges but wanted to try and get another moderate priced power part before the tune. I will definately get another boost gauge for the steering column for now just wasn't sure about the whole defi thing just yet. Damn what to do.
