there is nothing else that you need your good to go. only question is are you an 03/04 or an 05 viii because a 10.5 hotside might do you some good while your doing all that otherwise your good to go, where are you getting tuned btw?

You can have your tuner save your stock map before he tunes.

not really sure how to do a boost keak test! do i need my own compressor? and why do you think i need to change out the stock plugs!? i have just about 15K miles on the car....does the tuner do boost leak testing on the car when getting tuned? this is my first time getting a car tuned.

For a boost leak test, you can gather some stuff at your local auto store and build it. There is a how to on this. Pretty cheap and works well. Always have some spare spark plugs just in case.
