Getting ready for a tune..advice?

I've been trying to gather some parts together before I get tuned in the summer. I was wondering if anyone can look at my list and see what I can switch out or add to my list.

I currently have a LiteSpec Ti Exhaust, UR Mini-muffler test pipe and Cosworth Drop-in

I'm planning to gather the following:
3" ETS FMIC
ETS/Ultimate Racing full UICP (Anyone know if the UR piping will mate up with the ETS FMIC?)
Rexpeed o2dp

Then get tuned at RRE

Considering getting an ETS intake..though I'm reading that after a tune a drop-in will make as much power as an intake, so I'm probably not going to get one, save myself money until I plan to upgrade my turbo.

Please make some suggestions/give advice

Thanks!

Make sure you do a boost leak test and fix them correctly!

Yes the UR pipe will mate up with the ETS I/c. Make sure all parts are tightened. I don't think going with the 4in I/c would hurt either

Since you're going to upgrade your FMIC, you might as well get ETS's 3.5" instead of a 3" one IMO

A 4" FMIC would be nice also, but I don't think it's necessary unless you get a FAT turbo upgrade. The 3.5" is still good for 700+ whp and is $100 cheaper.

fuel pump, maybe some bigger injectors, 4in ETS FMIC (3.8 inches to be exact). If you're on the stock clutch, start looking for a better one.

Get the intake, when you upgrade your turbo all you'll have to do af far as the intake is change the coupler that attaches your intake to your turbo.
