You don't need it, but it would help. Without EGR, the SES light will be on. I'd recommend a tune, but it's not essential.

If you are done modding, get a tune. If you plan on getting a cam or heads/cam, wait until after you install those.

The most common time to get a tune, is after a round of mods. So, after you get all the boltons, get a tune. Or, after you get a cam, get a tune. IF you are planning for a cam soon, wait to get a tune. If not, get all the boltons you want, then get a tune. Tunes are expensive so you want to combine as many mods as possible before you get a tune.

or if you feel comfortable trying to do it yourself then tuning is only expensive 1 time (when you buy the software)
