mods before tune?

Going for a tune within the next month or so.. right now i hav an injen intake w/ uicp, ams widemouth dp, turbo xs hfc, ets v2 cbe, turbosmart bov, and defi boost gauge. was looking at swapping the hfc out for an ets test pipe, picking up an aem wideband, and grimmspeed 3 port. any suggestions or ideas of something else worth adding to the list before a tune?

I would recommend a fmic and licp as you pretty much have all the bolt-ons. But def. get a wideband and 3port. As for swapping the hfc to test pipe, eh..you dont really have too, some guys run hfc and make very similar powers to people running tp's.. Also, be easy on it until you get a tune! (assuming you arent tuned yet)

My advice is don't drive your car until you get a tune. You don't want to be driving your car on a stock map with those mods.

Also, keep the high flow cat. You don't need a test pipe unless you want to be shooting flames and smelling exhaust at a red light. The power difference between a test pipe and high flow cat are minimal with your mods. If you go for big power, then get a test pipe.
