If I installed a larger plug N play front mount intercooler...
Am I good too go or do I need a tune / dyno after? (Possible BOV install too, but ^ first) |

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.

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.

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.
