Bolt-ons and a tune ??

I've been doing some searching and reading.. I just got a TurboXS TBE from a member here and I purchased the Cobb short ram intake from a vendor here.
Right now my car runs perfect and is stock. I am reading that installing an open intake will screw up the MAF and the car could run chitty. After installing these parts, should I take the car and get a tune put on it ? I don't have any plans for other mods.. The sucker is fast enough.. I will be concentrating on cosmetic and handling performance. Thanks!

If I get a tune, what kind of difference will I see with new stuff installed ?
Will it be noticeable or like ehhh, the same...?

I ran with an Apexi filter and no tune for a year and the car ran ok, kind of rich. Ran much better after the tune.

The filter will mess with the maf, and it should be rescaled via tune. Since you will not mod more for power, I would get a mbc and a tune for sure.

In addition to the TBE and intake get a Walbro 255 fuel pump, evo 9 bov, and manual boost controller and then get it tuned. Then you will notice a huge difference in power.

I did a full intake with uicp, and TBE and my car ran crazy rich, and the idle was chattering bad, I took it to English Racing and gain 62 horse off my tune alone, Car runs amazing. A tune is a must.

not getting a tune is like having a naked super model that is 100% DTF on your bed and just settle for your girlfriend
