Tuning WGDC is included with a tune, if not get a different tuner. To install it will take 15 minutes.
Who says he has an accurate way to measure boost (map sensor) to ensure he tunes his MBC properly as well?
What the OP should do is call whoever is going to tune his car from now on and get their opinion, and follow it. If they want MBC go with it, if they want a GM 3 port go with it.

jasnm21, Thank you! you run rich from the factory and having an intake will not hurt the car but its not going to add to performance either. save and get a few more mods then put them on and take it to get it tuned. he dont need to switch back to the factory intake box either. simple, if your hitting fuel cut take it to get it tuned or just dont drive it hard or switch back to the factory box. unless he is hitting that stock preset limit he should not be worried cause the stock fuel cut is preset really low, he will hit that way before he runs lean enough to pop somthing.
Sorry but I disagree.
Think about it like this, from factory they run pig rich, an intake at the same boost levels isn't going to lean him out above 11.8 without more boost. I have personally tested this on a few local evo's and my own evo with minor mods. The AFR were never over even 11.0 let alone anything to cause damage.

You're right, our cars do run pig rich from the factory, but on some cars a cone filter or intake system can screw up the MAF readings enough to make you hit fuel cut, which it seems is happening to him. If you are hitting fuel cut, you need a tune.

1.8"
ETS vs Stock
The turbo outlet pipes fits inside of it and actually reaches the funnel which is larger then 1.8"

But I really think he should get a MBC, LICP and possibly cams before getting a tune.
