Here's my situation. Since my last tune, I will or have replaced some parts:

1. replaced STi tmic with larger Spearco tmic
2. replaced Sti header with GT Spec header
3. replace OEM STi catback with full 3" catback
4. replace OEM turbo inlet hose with APS turbo inlet pipe
5. replace OEM filter with K&N panel filter

By just replacing items 1 and 2, I've experienced a considerable power increase. I imagine that after replacing items 3 and 4 that I will again gain even more power. I am concerned that by replacing these items that my tune has gone from a conservative to an agressive tune, enough for me to worry about det. Is there a concern here or not?

My question now is, 'assuming' that no legitimate tuner will tune to AI, will it still benefit me to install AI without tuning, just to avoid det? Why do I have a feeling that was a dumb question...

Ispeed is the ONLY legit tuner I have seen that refuses to tune alch injection.
Find another tuner. Its not that risky if you tune it right.

Dont waste your time replacing the panel filter. Either go to a good quality intake (APS cai or K&N Typhoon) or stick with the stock. The paper flows PLENTY, dont buy into the marketing crap that only leaves you with a filter that doesnt do as good of a job keeping dirt out.
