No tune needed it will just help you keep air temps down but still within normal operating conditions of whatever tune. I have a juicebox on mine and did it.

Garage List
A larger FMIC will keep intake temps lower after multiple gear pulls and in the upper RPM range of the taller gears but in order to maximize gains you should really consider a tune

The only drawback is the fact that on stock boost levels an upgraded innercooler will not do much for you. I know it's your money to spend but most people start with a tune and move on to other bolt ons from there. Never the less it should run fine with a bigger IC and no tune.

Do you have a tune on it now? Or is the question do you need to update the tune because of the addition of the FMIC?

IF no tune get tune first

If you have a tune there is no need to make any changes.

No tune is needed and if you already have a tune, you will not need to change map for the intercooler or the CP+BOV upgrade.
