I would talk to someone who knows Evo X's very well rather than someone who can just tune in general. If he is suggesting you change your downpipe before a ebcs on a stock turbo, he probably isn't super familiar with the Evo X.
There are some people (like BakaUnchi) that will do e-tunes. You log your car and send him the logs and he makes adjustments based off that and sends you a new tune to update your ecu with. Someone like him would know a lot more about this specific platform.

yes
there's a certain set of parameters that are measurable with a computer
and there are known, proven, safe ranges for those parameters
an e-tuner (a good one. Theres only 2-3 good ones, rest only know more than you but aren't really very good but you don't know it) will make minor, refined adjustments to max your power and stay within that range.
It's a lengthy process, a month perhaps, where you run tests with new maps while you get dialed in. Expect half a dozen different, 30 minute sessions of driving and logging. Similar to a "real life" tune, where you would just spend 3-4 hours on a Dyno.
