Default need a tune?

I have a 98 TA A4. It has headers, cutout, 160 degree thermostat, lid, k and n airfilter, and Fast Toys Ram Air. I don't plan to get anything else. Should I get a tune and if so how much of a hp increase will there be?

yes you should. It won't provide you with a huge gain but will tie all your mods together and get rid of any codes and such from the headers
