Recommended steps before a tune
I am about to have a few parts put on and want to ensure for the tune everything is all set to go.
Any recommendations before dropping the car off? I plan to at the minimum do the spark plugs and clean my perrin filter as that thing is always dirty.
Doing a 71hta so oil change will need to be done during the swap.
Thanks in advanced!!

You will need coolant as well. Also might be a good idea to purchase spare gaskets and bolts in case you can't reuse anything or things break in dissassembly. Do you have an upgraded fuel pump? What about injectors?
The most important thing to do before a tune is a boost leak test.
Then make sure the spark plugs are good and gapped correctly. Choose a smaller gap as they will open up over time.

I have all the gaskets for everything being replaced even if it's reused by any chance.

I think you have everything covered. The shop may need to pull the radiator to have more clearance removing and installing everything thats why I mentioned coolant. Spare plugs may be a good idea incase some are fouled during tuning but doubtful that would happen.
