I would go with Wide band O2 sensor and gauge setup to read it. It will make your tuning much more accurate.

His tuner will use his own gauges to tune, no need to buy your own unless you want gauges.

I'd get a cat-back over a intercooler, but that's just me. I don't like the look of the factory CBE.

What's everyone running for a fuel setup with bolt ons? I messaged my local evo tuner. I have ETS turbo back exhaust and ETS 3.5 intercooler kit with intake. He told me to get ID 1000s and a DW65 fuel pump before getting it tuned. I said I wanted to stick with pump gas since I can't get E85 easily. Seems like overkill?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he misread what I wrote and thought I said I wanted a E85 tune haha. It couldn't hurt for me to upgrade, but I might just get a cobb v3 and just run a stage 2 tune after I install my downpipe.

Since you have a 2012, I'd get a Cobb AP and be able to go back to stock, that's if your tuner has Cobb tuning capability. Plus, it shows your boost, afr, etc. But between a IC and Exhaust, I'd go with the IC cuz I think you would have better gains for the tune and you can slap the exhaust on later. IC doesn't need a tune, but you will get the best gains out of it with one. Might as well get a 3.5, bigger than stock, but a 4 I hear has fitment issues. And might as well get some LICP since you are down there replacing the IC. It's really up to you man, neither one make a huge difference with your current mods.

Who said they're worthless? I said, you don't need them unless you want them. He doesn't NEED them to get a tune.

Stock injectors and fuel pump are fine for pump gas and bolt-ons.
