Does new intake and new uicp = new tune?

I currently have an exhaust/test pipe, hks drop-in, and tuned. Would it be alright to just put the intake/uicp (want the k&n typhoon intake/uicp) on and keep the tune I have?

You can only do the UICP, the intake will definitely need a retune.

I would. You've changed the volume of air and its temperature. Certainly the former could affect AFR under load. Just my $0.02 worth, but a re-tune should be more reasonable, especially with the same tuner. Better yet, ask your tuner.

If you are already tuned and will add an intercooler, you will need a tune. I installed the ETS 3.5" FMIC and my tune went crazy. Same happen to 2 local guys who installed an intercooler after they were tuned. If you were stock I think it would be a different story but if you are tuned then don't do it. As for the intake, why would you risk your car as well? Just get all the parts you might possibly want in the future, install them ams get tuned

As far as I know, my tuner told me IC piping and the inter-cooler is okay. Intake and exhaust is a no no and needs a retune.

I have an intake sitting in the garage. Everything I see says you need to get a tune.
