First off, I apologize if this has beeen asked before.

I was considering installing the Mishimoto intercooler. Do I need a tune or can this be installed on an otherwise stock car without issue? Also, If I have a tune would I need a new tune accounting for the new intercoller?

Also, I ordered the pre gap plugs from Tune+, same questions as above

Thanks

You do not NEED a tune/revision for a new IC or plugs, but it would be beneficial.

For the Intercooler you don't need a tune. I am not sure about the plugs though:confused:

So then I assume if I have a Bama tune then I can install either or (or both)and continue to run the same tune without issue

Thanks

You don't need a tune for either, but if you're not tuned I would just stick with the stock plugs. Running colder plugs on the stock tuning will probably just cause the plugs to get fouled out early

Cooler plugs are not needed until you are at 360rwhp.

So I shouldn't run the plugs from tune+ on an otherwise stock motor with no tune??

It's not necessary but u can. The car might run better on stock plugs with the stock tuning. Colder plugs could just misfire if they aren't gapped right

With the Bama tune I have I'll be good to go with the plugs then?

If tuned I would do it just for extra peace of mind

no need to tune for IC or plugs. your stock car at stock power level will benefit from an intercooler and better plugs and a good air filter and good oil and catch can. concider these as taking care of the health of your car. now with a tune you will take full advantage of the IC
