Yup.
If you are buying through DIY Autotune, then you may as well buy the package including the LC-1, and it will be quite invaluable when you install the ITB's.
You will also need a wideband set-up if you plan to use MegaSquirt's VE Analyser function.

I use an Autronic wideband for tuning. Not really practical to mount in the car permanently but a brilliant tuning tool.

Yes. I had one on my Turbo NA6. After I forked out the cash I was kicking myself I didn't do it earlier.

Unless you are going FI then you don't need wideband, narrow band should suffice. Having said that you need a way to convert the voltage output of the o2 sensor into something the MS can understand, not sure if this is possible with a narrow band sensor? As for me I'm using a Aussie made wideband from http://www.wb02.com.

I've used tech-edge for incar and Autronic for tuning in other cars (autronic is a very sturdy unit, you could probably drive over it and it'd still go).

Tech-edge was about 1/6 price of Autonic though ans seems to repeat same results.

I'm often in Newcastle/Canberra if anyone wants to run thier car around with the wideband in it to see where thier afrs are at..
