Do you need a tune? No.

Are you benefiting in any way, shape, or form from the money you have spent? Due to the learn down feature, no, you are not. It's all wasted money until you get a tune. Without it, your mods do not a damned thing for you.

With everything you have listed, I'd get a tune after the install. You'll be close to the pinnacle of the stock turbo's power on 93 with those mods unless you decide to run meth as well.

OP, you needed a tune as soon as you put that intake on.

Every LNF needs a tune.
