Yeh price wise sounds about right.
Tuning not so right. yeah an ecu and tune will set you back quite abit, but now days tuning ITBs for daily driving is not hard for someone who knows what their doing. If you buy some build for your model car, such as Toda, and you buy the appropriate size surge tank, then you half way there. The idle speed control valve will set you up for your daily driving.
Using the wrong sized ITBs and wrong size air box and everything else will set you back a mile, henceforth the need to tune every few months.
And in terms of supporting mods, that is entirely up to you. ITBs will increase your intake efficiency, and provide torque and or power throught the entire rev range. that power is tapped by your exhaust. Alot of people reccomend changing to a higher camshaft profile to increase the ITBs effectiveness.
if you decide to have them installed on your car stock (plus ecu), they will perform well.
if you install them and then add an exhaust or change your cams then you will need retune.
EVEN stock, the car will feel fantastic to drive. peak power isn't usually the main goal for ITB setups i dont believe.
