I would suggest 2 additional mods to go with your drop-in and CBE, Wideband A/F and boost gauge, that way you can always keep an eye on your A/F. I think your choices sound great, but should you have probs and you don't have a tune, sounds like you're still warranty friendly.
did the same thing! great base! sadly tho you'll probably end up wanting more, as there is so much potential after a good tune. Going stage 2 in a few weeks... the +60awhp gains is just too tempting. +40 with just a good tune... Have fun!

I recommend the Cobb Accessport. You can flash the stage 2 OTS map and should make around 290-300 whp with a turbo back exhaust. If anything goes wrong and you have to take it to the dealership you can simply uninstall the Accessport and you are back to the stock tune.

I have a stock tune at over 6000ft above sea level with a drop-in, ETS UICP, and boost gauge. The car runs great.

I just got a 2010 SE and I'm definitely planning on getting the COBB Access tuner.
I've been doing my research and stuff.. COBB has good support and like someone else said..

you can just reflash your system back to stock settings if/when you go to the dealer.

you can get a E-Tune from Clipse or one of the other tuners for cheaper, more power and safer. We just had 2 local Evo's sell their AP and go with Clipse for tuning.

Snakes do you have links and info?
I haven't seen much from Clipse and the stuff I did see was for a big turbo..
I'm not planning on upgrading my turbo any time soon lol. I just bought my car 3 days ago haha
