What else do I need before I buy a PD tune?

I will be installing my inter cooler and piping with HKS valve today. I also have a mishimoto dp and mbrp race exhaust . Do I need anything else before I buy a PD tune? I appreciate any help!

Catch can.

I did a wastegate but you don't have to. However I think it's worth it.

You can get all of the above from tune+. That's what I did. If you go with their upr catch can then you should get the radium baffle. I wish I would have, would have made things slightly easier. It's not a requirement but it won't hurt either.


Plugs and catch can are the biggie's. I just did my v1 tune from Ryan at PD and WOW, it's totally mental the difference it makes. Your gonna love it. I can't wait to see how the final revision is.

So I guess Ill buy the spark plugs today as well then and Ive heard mixed reviews on a catch can as I saw another guys thread where he did 30,000 miles and only had a drop in there. Also what does a waste gate do?

If your gonna tune it get a catch can. Better to be safe than sorry. At least that's what I think

Regarding the wastegate, i believe it allows the turbo to hold boost better, prevent overboosting and quicker spooling. Also a smidge better and louder turbo noises

Holding boost better sounds good in my book lol and yeah Ive read up on catch cans and its definitely a pay for it now or later type of deal. Thanks for the help! Im pretty hyped to see the change a tune makes to a car

So you are saying a catch can is a must for a tuned car then?

Absolutely, they are a proven must have for any car driven hard, tuned, etc. boosted or N/A. I do not sell catchcans and am not involved in manufacturing in any way. But I’ve been doing MotorSports, engine building and tuning for 30+ years and a catchcan is always a good thing.
