Your Tune is everything. Everything else revolves around a proper tune. Is the the single most important mod you will do to the car.

Yeah a tune is very important in many ways. All i have on my car right now is the turboback exhaust for like a month now. As soon as i decide on a boost controller, and get my different(aem) gauges in. I will install everything and get tuned.

This is correct, but the stock ECU has enough leeway to handle the mods the OP mentioned. Definitely get the car tuned, but you're not going to blow it up without tuning at this point.

If you have the money get it tuned...If you don't will your car die? NO! I ran a turboback and short ram for 2 months and everything was ok ..BUT, as soon as I had the money I bought an accessport then ran stage 2..This september I'm (actually devin's doing it lol) installing a bigger turbo and a retune using ecu flash so if you don't have the money don't play! save up and go big!
