Should i tune first?
Hi so im questioning if it will be okay to run my ams uicp with my exhaust, test pipe and intake using the stock maf without a tune? Right now im running 14.7 afr idle with my exhaust intake and test pipe

You’re gonna throw some CEL’s that’s for sure. And depending what year your car is, it might end up leaning itself out at WOT. I suggest tuning it to not only be safe but have it make more power and run better too

Hi basically having your car with Exhaust, Test Pipe, Intake, and the UICP what's really happening is you are not getting the full potentials with your mods, you'll not get a ton of power with those mods but definitely a better response and smoother engine. I would start saving for a tune and/or wait for more mods for tuning but not driving to aggressive my 2 cents.

Nah, you are not going to blow your engine with the aftermarket Upper pipe, Forced air from the turbo is what passing though, goes to your stock intercooler, and then goes back to your engine, with the stock UICP yes is more tight/ reduce, etc but what makes difference with the aftermarket is mass/ volume (air). now if you do fuel pump, injectors, bigger intercooler 4 inch or more, those mods are more dangerous, but definitely get it tune is the best and smarter way to go along with the mods is like having a oranges but actually get the juice from them lol.
